Our reading
The MacBook Pro claims 24 hours of battery life, but the only time it matters is when you’re in a meeting and your laptop dies at 9:01 a.m. Apple says it’s the future, but the real test is whether it can survive a morning coffee run without a plug.
It’s not that the battery is bad—it’s that the world is full of people who forget to charge their devices. The M6 chip is fast, but not fast enough to power a laptop that’s been left on a desk for three days.
Apple’s new laptop is a marvel of engineering, but it still needs a wall outlet. The future is here, but it’s not ready for the morning rush.
