🪫 2 YEARS LATER - 14” MacBook Pro 2021 (M1 Pro) - IRL BATTERY TEST UPDATE 2023 / LowPower Mode

[@lucasferrer7005]

yup... this is probably the best battery test in the whole KZbin by far, not perfect because he doesn't point out the macOS version, but no hype or mouthing, just showing real use.... I feel informed with real information thanks

[@SupertechUSA]

Glad this was useful for you!

@@SupertechUSA do you what os where u using? Sonoma, ventura?

[@lucasferrer7005]

@@SupertechUSA could you please tell which OS was used during this test?

[@Naz-h8z]

i have to note, whats changed for me is not just laptop battery capacity but also installed apps, compared when i started and now, many more apps are running in background now, and thats someting no youtuber is testing when they unbox and test battery

[@SupertechUSA]

Thank you! 😌I’m glad this detail helped

[@titlecade]

1 year anniversary with 29 cycles at 100% capacity, but I keep mine plugged in 99% of the time. Apple battery management is top notch. When I do take it out, it's exceptional.

[@DwaipayanRC]

How are you calculating cycles? Could you please share how to do this?

[@BladeRunnerJP11]

Thought battery would be more on the 10 hr mark considering the 16 inch for better battery

[@hassansalah6700]

Man! I greatly appreciate your hard work 👌 this review is super helpful! I’ve just got 2024 MacBook Pro 14 inch M3 and with light tasks the battery is draining by a rate of 10%/hr which is I think is not good. If anyone can share his experience this would be highly appreciated!

[@SupertechUSA]

Glad the details helped!

this is the most real life battery test i hv seen on yt

[@anupammahato1]

excellent video getting a macbook pro m1 base with 90 percent battery capacity how much battery life am i expecting with this config? thanks

[@MunroMcLaren]

My 14” M1 People gets barely 7 hours doing light work like taking notes on Word or using Canva or browsing the web. I should be getting at least 8-9 hours, probably more. I’m at 96% with 126 cycles.

[@kesterbelgrove818]

1.5 years 82% battery health. No one really talks about this, it sucks. I never used to carry a charger when the laptop was new, now i never leave home without it.

[@SupertechUSA]

Thanks for sharing this!

What do you it for tho? Video editing?

Looking forward too your up coming band reviews nice to see you back

Thanks for your previous band vids there invaluable to me as I’m colour blind

[@rinzan28]

What a detailed review on battery 👍 Was looking to buy used 14 pro with 92% 🔋 life, it seems still good enough to go. Thanks, new sub here from India.

[@SupertechUSA]

Glad you enjoyed this! Yeah 92 is still good. iPhone battery capacity seems to be good until low 80s.

[@erickchrys]

Looks like updating to Sonoma/Ventura battery drains faster. I am still on Monterey, and i use my laptop daily to charge my iphone & applewatch (My laptop is the only charging source). And battery health is 87%

[@SupertechUSA]

Thanks for sharing this!

[@chelonianranch]

Got mine since Feb ‘22 it’s at 92% battery health. I don’t do anything heavy on it. Only office things and Netflix, hulu, and KZbin. Thank you for the well rounded video with examples!

[@SupertechUSA]

Glad the details were helpful! Thanks for sharing!

[@DwaipayanRC]

Got mine too since Feb'22 and my battery health stands 97%. I too do the same thing you do. I just wonder if I can use this m1 pro many years to come. What's your opinion?

[@DwaipayanRC]

@@anupammahato1 if you use low power mode without charger being connected, I suppose you can easily run this macbook for 6 years(including your 2 years) with 80% battery health remaining. But that doesn't mean you can't use it after that. I have heard from people using intel macs for 10+ years down the line.

[@tombrown7400]

Mine’s at 87% and it’s been more than one year 🤔

[@FrankHale]

Is it possible to get batteries replaced if their health gets too low?

[@sangeshpv7335]

Yes

[@SupertechUSA]

Sorry just saw this. When it gets to 80% with insurance you can get it replaced with a small service fee.

[@trektn]

appreciate the HDR, but please if you're gonna show screenshots that have a white background please grade it with less brightness so it's easier on the eyes, the HDR should only be allowed to pop when you are looking bright parts of a scene not screenshots and turn my display into a flashlight Edit: I was on the 500 nit mode and it was this bright, this is actually unwatchable in the 1600 peak...

[@SupertechUSA]

That’s for the helpful feedback!

[@HA_CMW]

I bought a new MacBook Pro 14-inch M1, but the charge decreases by 25% every hour, knowing that I do not use heavy programs, just the browser with one web page, which are sites for learning languages. What should I do

[@SupertechUSA]

Hi, was this just your first day? If so give it a couple days to index and do background stuff. If it’s been longer and it was sent to you new and not used, that is definitely not normal and you have two options… 1. (Easy way) exchange it as long as it’s within the return period. 2. Have it looked at. Apple support should be called or a Genius Bar appointment to Apple so they can look at it and run a diagnostic.

[@rca6576]

I am getting mine replaced today. It's a 2021 but, I purchased new in 2022. Already the battery needs replacing. All my previous Macbook Pro batteries lasted longer than this one. One lasted six years. I think for the cost of this machine two years is a sad performance. The machine still works okay but, it's not charging well at all so I keep it plugged in. This MBP is 99% left at home, is not abused in any way. I know some people had problems with the M2 chip and battery life but, this is the M1.

[@SupertechUSA]

[@derrickenamazameti8192]

I like your detailed videos. Always top-notch with real life expectations. I was considering upgrading from m1 mbp 13inch to the 14inch but the battery test as indicated in your video is so bad. I would rather stick with my 13inch with at least 16hrs battery life even at 86% battery health and 255 cycle count. Great video!

[@SupertechUSA]

I’m glad my videos help! I’d say if you don’t need the higher demanding functions of the 14in the battery would be worth it with the 13 in

[@phungleyen2730]

very detail and realistic, thanks

What about battery health? What is your percent?

Why is the battery test in Low Power Mode?

[@SupertechUSA]

Honestly not sure how my computer ended up in low power mode for months, so I had to make the review as it was at the time of editing.
