My review of the M2 MacBook Pro<\/a> went up last Wednesday. But as soon as I got my hands on the device on the prior Thursday, it was clear that running down the battery \u2014 one of the most important things a laptop reviewer needs to do \u2014 was going to be a Whole Thing. <\/p>\n
Reader, I tried. I would use the device all evening and leave it running all night, but it would still have plenty of charge left in the morning, and I\u2019d have to plug it in for testing, abandon it to film, or give it to our video and photo teams for shooting before I could fully drain it down. I did not have a long enough interrupted span of time to continuously use the device. That\u2019s how absurdly long this laptop lasts. <\/p>\n
But, with the written review and the video review<\/a> both live, and a solid evening and subsequent morning with no plans or obligations, last Thursday gave me my first real uninterrupted free time since the review unit had arrived. I decided, when I got home and finished dinner around 7:30PM, that it was time. I was going to kill this thing. I was going to drain this stupid battery down to zero if it was the last thing I did.<\/p>\n
\nI was going to drain this battery if it was the last thing I did<\/q><\/aside>\n<\/div>\nQuickly, some housekeeping. First, this is not the official battery life estimate with which I will ultimately be updating the review. That will be based on multiple trials, and hopefully many that are not as… weird as what I did here. (That said, our battery life test is always a ballpark estimate, and I\u2019ve never pretended it\u2019s anything else. Never treat one review as your only data point, etc. etc.) <\/p>\n\n  <\/p>\n    <\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Second, while I did really want to kill this battery, I should emphasize that I always want my battery tests to reflect my <\/em>personal workload \u2014 so while there are certainly intense things I could\u2019ve done to kill the battery more quickly, I did take care here not to artificially run anything ridiculous and to stick with programs and tasks that I would actually do on a real day (albeit a more intense real day, in parts).<\/p>\n\n<\/aside>\nAnyway, I did run the thing down. And I kept a little diary of the process, which I\u2019m sharing here. This, I hope, will give you some idea of the various things I did on the device as I drained it, and some insight into how fast it might drain if you\u2019re running a workload similar to mine. That said, it is my personal and private diary, so please don\u2019t tell anyone about it. <\/p>\n
8:00PM: <\/strong>I am in for the night. I\u2019ve got around a dozen tabs open. I\u2019ve got the screen at medium brightness, with True Tone off. I\u2019ve got Spotify running the \u201cChill Pop\u201d playlist. The battery is at 100 percent. Unplug. Let\u2019s roll. <\/p>\n
8:20PM<\/strong>: Still at 100 percent. I double check to make sure the battery meter is working. It\u2019s getting dark out, so I turn on night light. Don\u2019t judge me, I care about my eyes, you monsters. <\/p>\n
8:25PM: <\/strong>The internet is boring. I pull up a short story I\u2019m working on, which is a Google Doc that\u2019s around 20 pages. God, I love how fast this thing loads Google Docs. I\u2019ve still got around a dozen other tabs open.<\/p>\n
8:30PM: <\/strong>My friends, we are still at 100 percent. Considering having a character die in my short story, because if this laptop won\u2019t die, somebody\u2019s gotta. I decide against it. <\/p>\n9:00PM<\/strong>: We are at 98 percent. The fear that this thing could last 50 hours is giving me legitimate stress. Like, my Garmin Venu<\/a> is telling me to chillax.<\/p>\n

    Challenge accepted.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/span><\/p>\n<\/figure>\n9:30PM: <\/strong>95 percent. \u201cI don\u2019t think this thing is ever going to die lol,\u201d I iMessage a friend. \u201cLol wow,\u201d my friend replies. 9:30PM is our intellectual time to shine. <\/p>\n
9:45PM: <\/strong>91 percent. <\/strong>The \u201cChill Pop\u201d playlist has run its course. I move on to \u201cToday\u2019s Hits\u201d. Stay <\/em>by The Kid Laroi and Justin Bieber begins playing. Ah, yes. Today\u2019s\u2019 hits. <\/p>\n10:15PM: <\/strong>Hitting a wall with my story, but I leave the Google Doc open in case inspiration strikes. I start running PugetBench for Premiere Pro<\/a> just to feel something. It\u2019s oddly therapeutic to give the benchmark full control of my computer and try to figure out what ridiculous things it\u2019s doing. Is anything in life really in our hands? Are we not all obscure GPU effects being thrown at random Premiere footage, in a way?<\/p>\n
10:30PM<\/strong>: This is around when the Gigabyte Aero 16<\/a> would be dying. The MacBook, though, is still very much alive. Anyway, I feel like I\u2019m clearly not taxing this thing hard enough, so I look around for things that might need to be updated. Some of my Adobe apps are out of date, so I set those downloads off. I\u2019ve been wanting to familiarize myself with After Effects, so I play around with that for a bit. <\/p>\n
11:59PM: <\/strong>78 percent. Well, I still don\u2019t understand how to do anything in After Effects, but at least I tried. I\u2019ve also gotten through \u201cToday\u2019s Hits\u201d. Creative Suite is done updating, so I open all the apps I have at once just to see if it will slow the computer down. It doesn\u2019t, of course. I mess around in Lightroom with some photos that I might (but probably will not ever) upload to Instagram, as one does.<\/p>\n

    A true musical journey.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/span><\/p>\n<\/figure>\n12:15PM: <\/strong>I do some Swift Playgrounds 4 because I can\u2019t get over how cute the little animations are. I do a Rosetta Stone lesson with Swift Playgrounds 4 running in the background. Look, therapist, you can\u2019t say I\u2019m not working on myself. The screen is starting to feel way too bright, but don\u2019t worry: I will kill my eyes for the sake of the blogs. <\/p>\n
12:26AM: <\/strong>73 percent. I\u2019ve run out of things to do. I am watching old K-pop videos on YouTube. \u201cWhat if we went to Lollapalooza?\u201d I iMessage a friend. \u201cWe are not going to Lollapalooza,\u201d the friend responds. <\/p>\n
12:47AM<\/strong>: I\u2019ve wandered back to the short story. I\u2019m very tired, so it\u2019s getting a bit weird. I start downloading some more Adobe software, because you might as well go big. I have no idea what Bridge is, but I\u2019m sure I can find a use for it.<\/p>\n2:13AM: <\/strong>63 percent. Calling it a night. I leave a YouTube video (\u201cFireplace 10 Hours Full HD<\/a>\u201d, one of my favorites, the vibes are immaculate) running as well as the \u201cChill Hits\u201d Spotify playlist. Please die, <\/em>I think at the device, as I fall asleep with it beside my head. It\u2019s in God\u2019s hands now.<\/p>\n
8:15AM: <\/strong>I wake up because construction is going on outside, which is the New York City 4-D experience. The MacBook Pro is still going strong at 36 percent. I start PugetBench to give it something to do and go back to sleep (I have the morning off). <\/p>\n
10:26AM: <\/strong>I wake up again, this time because I\u2019m stressed that I made a mistake in a draft I filed yesterday. This is just a thing I worry about. I pull up the draft and read through it. No mistake. Crisis averted. Back to bed. Laptop at 21 percent, various things still running.<\/p>\n
\n Red, the blood of laptop reviewers who have almost, almost completed their battery run<\/q><\/aside>\n<\/div>\n11:40AM: <\/strong>I wake up for the final time, and it\u2019s the first thing my bleary eyes see: The red battery. That glorious, glorious red. Red, the blood of laptop reviewers who have almost, almost completed their battery run. The laptop is at 9 percent. We are so close, everyone. So <\/em>close. <\/p>\n
11:42AM: <\/strong>Time to kill this thing dead. I open Slack. I keep Spotify blasting. I open three different email tabs, a bunch of blog posts, a video, iMessage, Sticky Notes, Lightroom. I start downloading a game on Steam. I work on my review of another computer, clicking around a whole bunch of other reviews that are covered in ads. It\u2019s going to die any minute now<\/em>, I think, with an eye on the red battery meter. <\/p>\n12:30PM<\/strong>: Well, the final stretch takes a lot longer than I thought it would. But after 16 hours, 30 minutes, and 39 seconds, the M2 MacBook Pro is done for. It died in the middle of playing Tomorrow X Together\u2019s Can\u2019t You See Me<\/em><\/a> <\/em>music video, right as they\u2019re setting a building on fire. There should be a metaphor in there somewhere, but I\u2019m too tired to find it. <\/p>\n
Don\u2019t worry \u2014 I\u2019ll run it down a few more times to get you a more rigorous result. <\/p>\n
