There are lots of laptops that can get great battery life - but they don’t do it irrespective of workload as this MacBook Air M1 does.Īt any given time, I couldn’t tell you when I last charged my MacBook Air. I use Chrome, not Safari, and have no fewer than 15 tabs open at any time - plus Microsoft Teams, Outlook, Messages, and TweetDeck most of the time. I set my display brightness to whatever it needs to be. Flying from NYC to the West Coast last week, I got to the airport at 6 a.m., spent 90 minutes getting set with work duties for the week, and then nearly 6 hours on my flight using it (yes, workaholic here) … and still had over 50% battery when I went to plug in at the hotel.Īnd I have this carefree freedom despite doing nothing to conserve power. Traveling with the MacBook Air M1 really seals the deal for me. Once your laptop’s battery gets to the point of not needing to be charged every day, it’s not even worth trying to keep track of the typical longevity.
The battery life on the MacBook Air M1 is so good, I don’t even know how long it lasts on a charge - because I’ve never been able to use it continuously long enough to kill it from 100%.
When did I charge? Andy Boxall/Digital TrendsĪt any given time, I couldn’t tell you when I last charged my MacBook Air. The MacBook Air M1 is actually faster and more consistent in performance than my 2019 MacBook Pro it replaced. A machine that’s thin, light, and portable - but also one that’s quiet, cool, and has incredible battery life.Īnd this generation didn’t bring any new compromises into the equation. It’s terribly cliché to say, but the Apple Silicon era has finally made the idealistic potential of the MacBook Air a reality.
It’s like the MacBook Air M1 is my reward for sticking with MacBooks all this time - it’s the MacBook idea, perfected. The biggest Apple design fails and screw-ups of all timeĪ new iMac and 15-inch MacBook Air are almost ready to launchĪpple just made a huge move to power up your next MacBookīut now, I don’t have to face any of those issues.
