Apple products continue to amaze me. I have a Macbook Air from 2013 that still holds a great charge. Check out this screenshot recently taken. It shows a 16 hour charge on a battery with 86% left!
Now this in not entirely typical. The time to battery depletion will change depending on what you are doing with the machine. In this case I think I only had the browser open and nothing else.
I work from coffee shops quite often and with the Macbook Air I no longer worry about carrying around a power cable with me wherever I go. The only time I have had power issues is when doing multiple long video conferences.
Go Apple!
