      Very informative video, but I would have also liked to have seen a graph that showed performance/ battery consumed
      Like the cinebench score / percent battery used, and then also maybe another graph of that with just windows laptops, since I expect it to just be full of macbooks

    Great comparison. One suggestion through. Instead of testing battery life by running the torture test for 30 minutes, consider testing how much battery is used after a fixed number of iterations. This approach measures battery impact per workload unit, offering more consistent results. You also don’t need separate tests for performance and battery life-combining them saves time and gives a clearer picture of efficiency.

    • @JustJoshTech
      @JustJoshTech  6 วันที่ผ่านมา +35

      100% agree. We are trying to move to this. It's just challenging as it's not natively built into Cinebench we need to use dedicated testing software. But good call

      That is a great idea actually. Perhaps instead of doing a Cinebench run, something like a Premier Pro Export on CPU using the same video file would be a good option. You'd be able to see a real-world workload being executed, if its possible and you can also see both time and power savings. Plus you could get some very interesting data and extrapolate how many exports could be done on battery in a given timeframe which could be a really interesting datapoint

      Other than the glass trackpads not being haptic (but still glass and not plastic) and the battery life not being AS great (but still really good especially when you disable the dedicated GPU for the Zephyrus and ProArt) in basically all other areas they match or exceed the Macs.

    • @ctrl_x1770
      @ctrl_x1770 6 วันที่ผ่านมา

      The advantage of the Mac's long battery life comes from the ARM architecture (a type of way to build CPUs), seen in Apple's M Series chips. On the contrary, most Windows CPUs like the Ryzen AI and the Lunar Lake chips all use the less efficient x64 CPU architecture.
      The reason Windows computers are slower to move to the ARM platform is because of two main reasons: compatibility issues moving from x64 to ARM, and the lack of a sufficiently powerful enough windows ARM CPU.

    Refresh rate is also a big factor in battery life. I am pretty sure that if the screen doesn't have adaptive refresh rate, 144hz vs 60hz have big impact on the battery on long sessions like light browsing / Netflix.

      Here we go again the age old boot licking of

      Windows devices have to use higher refresh rate because of how garbage the software is. And despite being run on 144Hz it still looks crap. A macbook running 60Hz feels wayy smoother than a windows machine running on 144Hz

    • @Winnetou17
      @Winnetou17 5 วันที่ผ่านมา

      @@JustJoshTech Technically, there's other important factors too:
      - for higher power CPUs, their power limit (usually set by the manufacturer) has a BIG contribution. For example, except Lunar Lake, all Intel CPUs can use 100W, meaning they will last less than one hour / lose over 50% in 30 minutes of Cinebench. The same laptops with the same CPUs, if limited, can suddenly be much more power efficient
      - laptop and motherboard configuration impacts the battery drain too. Learned this from Framework. Simply having more ports, even if unplugged, can increase your battery drain. And how you design the motherboard matters too. That's why you can have different results between laptops with the same CPU, RAM and battery size. And why you have to individually test each laptop in general, unfortunately. Now this difference shouldn't be big in terms of amount of watts, but if it's 1W extra when you're consuming 3W, then it does matter for getting from 15 to 20 hours of use.
      - I'd argue that the OS might matter too, as I think that MacOS gives Macbooks an advantage. I'd say that Linux should be better on battery, since it's usually more lightweight (especially if you want to go minimalistic, you can TRULY make it minimalistic). But it might need some hassle configuring it / might not have a good easy switch. I'll personally be happy to see these tests in Linux too, as I don't want to hear from Microsoft again, they're too controlling and spywareish, and I can't trust them anymore.
      As a personal remark, with the battery advancements, I really hope that the 100W limit for airplanes will be lifted / extended for non Li-Ion batteries. Since 16"-18" laptops have the space and weight room to include even a 200Wh battery. That would open up true high performance full day workstations. With a good, bright, high refresh rate screen, without reducing it to 60 Hz and 200 nits.

    Youre awesome, this test really hilights one often overlooked metric, as a lot of folks need long Battery life during light use.
    Getting to work anywhere you want/ need without worrying about battery life not keeping up is a overlooked but widely important characteristic of a Notebook.
    For many applications the performance of mid/high-range-low power-cpus is more than enough, so the buildquality, screenquality, networkenabled use paired with light tasks is a product many peopel want for their digital needs.

      Silicon lottery and if the tests were done in High Performance, Auto, or Low battery mode?
      I’m new to Apple silicon, but coming from a windows laptop, it’s super confusing on why the 14C lasted longer than the 12c. Another thing could be that they found the 14C to run cooler, which can help battery life.

    In my opinion, I think using video playback is not at all representative of real use, even light tasks.

    I like the overall way of testing the battery life based on real used cases such as Netflix.
    BUT, testing battery life based off how much the system says it has used is VERY inaccurate.
    Apple in particular is known for their batteries reporting to drain very slowly until they reach about 85% when it starts to drain significantly quicker.
    Therefore, you can't calculate battery life based on the first few percentage drops and doing the math. You need to drain it!

    I think the laptop market for some reason is far behind the smartphone market. I mean laptop manufacturers still try to sell us devices with 8 GB ram. Also the OLED thing sucks for the basic user. No non graphics guy cares if the display scores 98 or 99% colour accuracy. While most people would like a 120hz screen with a good resolution more and maybe with a matte screen. Also saves battery.
    Price can't be a reason. My 300€ 12" tablet has a 2,5k 120hz. And yet manufacturers sell me devises with fhd 60hz displays for 1.5k because of a 2tb SSD that costs 70 bucks.

    • @malte4793

There are many consumer demographics, and certain products are designed to appeal to specific groups. Instead of complaining about devices that you would never purchase but that sell well to their intended audience, you should focus on selecting the products that cater to your own needs.

      I use Apple products for over 20 years and this is only true for the iPhone. But not how you described it. iPhones stay at 100% longer but then drop quicker. For the MacBooks this is not the case at all. As you could see later in the test where the MacBook Pros still ended up as almost the longest lasting laptops. If I remember the chart correctly the MacBook Pro was 4th compared to three windows laptops that lasted longer BUT were much cheaper and therefore had also less power. The similarly priced MacBook Pro competitor Asus Pro art 16 barely made the list at all.

      I think this is a problem with Lithium-Ion batteries in general. I know a lot of Android phones that go from 100% -> 90% very quickly, but stay on 40% for ages. There is a rumor, though, that iPhones last much less longer during winter compared to Android phones, so maybe Apple products have some kind of battery quirk? Who knows.

      @@bodigames iPhone's are made with larger batteries then advertised. For example, if they advertise 3000Mah it could actually be 3100Mah. iOS will read anything above 3000Mah as 100%, for charge and health. If you plug a NEW iPhone into a computer and use Coconut Battery (Mac) or iMazing (Windows) to check the battery, it will show it's true health. Mine is currently at 102.5% health. Pretty interesting. For Mac's I'm not sure as I never bought a new Mac so I never checked.

      ​@@ctrl_x1770 I doubt it is a quirk, as they probably use similar cells. Maybe some sort of protection Apple puts on the battery to increase its lifetime or reduce degradation.

    Battery life and high quality screen with decent performance are my top priority. Unfortunately windows laptop with high resolution screens get disqualified and 1080p screen is not enjoyable. I am forced to purchase a Macbook Air 15 coz it has no competition even though I love Windows OS.

      It 100% does -- bigger chassis = bigger battery. Rough math makes it look like the a 16" M4 Pro = a 14" M4 base (24 hours).

    This is a great theme, battery is the #1 most important criteria in laptop in my opinion. However, the way you present, as a % of battery drain after a given set of time, is not very helpful in understanding how many hours the laptop lasts. You should ideally run full battery drain tests, or at least make a math extrapolation to project how many hours a battery would last considering your x minutes testing. That way of presenting would be much more meaninful.

    I was hoping that Josh would do a standby test as well. I have commented about this in previous videos.
    But then I realized, people who usually use x86 laptops are so used to just shutting them down, that they don't even know about ARM laptops having incredible standby time.
    This comes from the fact that x86 laptops programmed people's mind that standby sucks your battery.

      Why do people still not use hibernate is beyond me. Those 15-30 seconds extra must be really important!
      Though on the other hand insisting on using sleep and complaining about it when it doesn't work well will push the manufacturers to eventually fix it. I was quite amazed to find out last year when LTT made that video about sleep on Windows, that so many years later sleep is still with issues. Quite many apparently. I've seem to have dodged a bullet by going with hibernation from the start in the XP era and had literally 0 issues so far in ... 20 years ?

    This isn’t that useful because the laptops have few common specs so there’s no level playing field. You need to make a more complicated calculation of a coefficient of efficiency by accurately weighting the contributory factors that you list: battery size, CPU TDP, screen size, type & resolution etc. Overall package efficiency would be the ultimate way to rank these laptops and then buyers could decide which trade offs they were prepared to make in return for getting features that matter to them eg bigger battery = larger form factor & more weight. Someone might decide to go for a lower powered CPU but a higher resolution screen and a smaller or larger form factor. Knowing the overall package efficiency would help them pick the best laptop for them.

    • @Ticki
      @Ticki 6 วันที่ผ่านมา +2

      No you don´t. This isn´t about the most battery efficient device or the one that can make the most out of a small chassis, but about which laptop has the best battery life (while performing at least okay-ish). Most people don´t care if the battery life comes from an efficient chip or a large battery, they just want a good battery life. Of course it matters if a laptop suddenly is huge because it has a huge battery or how good the screen is, but a) major flaws where pointed out and b) that´s not the point of the video. A potential costumer would now go out and look at the 2 or 3 options, that seem to fit their needs best, in more detail and there they will be confronted with the pros and cons. This is just a "Who can run the longest? We don´t care how you do it, but don´t stop" competition
