13". Does it make much difference? I read both 15" and 13" can reach up to 10 hours.

This new macbook pro, first time ever battery performance isn't as good as previous models. Bit disappointed and not sure whether is it my unit.

Usually about 8 hrs on the 13 inch touch bar, non touch bar base spec can reach 10 hrs since the battery is bigger and the cpu is 18w. How bright is ur screen??

And also 5-6 hrs just browsing web is a bit low is brightness is 50% try the latest beta or install instat to c how much power everything is using.

Using chrome. All my settings, didn't change. Just out of the box, cause wanted to gauge battery life, performance and etc.

I do that for iPhones as well. Later only I will tweak and fine tune to what I need.

Probably now is due to using chrome the battery killer I guess. Let me see use Safari any difference.

Thanks both. Other forums too pro apple or anti. Asking honest question like this, get two extremes views. smile.gif

Well think of this way battery isn't as good as previous model but it charges much faster so I don't really mind.

For 13 inch u have to be aware the right side ports are half speed.
