- It's that time again... time for a Battery Drain Test only this time, putting up the 2 M1 MacBooks up against each other and also to compare in real-time, I also included a prior Intel MacBook Air.
ALL Settings were identical, Tru-Tone disabled, all connected to the same wi fi network, all had the sleep timer set to never and each macbook was set to 85% brightness.
Were you surprised with the results?
Each machine was put through a variety of tasks that were meant to drain the battery more rapidly than normal. Ofc, not everyone is gonna do benchmarking, netflix, video exports & gaming all in one session, but it goes to show just how powerful the M1 chips really are. Give me your thoughts down below!

Holy! The winner is actually the ipad which kept on counting the time.
Lmao
Lol
Lol
Of course which didn't do anything but count time
It’s actually doing nothing but counting the time 😂
Crazy the 13” pro lasted that long after ALL THAT TESTING + near max brightness 🤯
@Ivan Kelly wait there are people who still watch vids at normal speed
@@salivala1852 well, like a normal human
85% is not a near max brightness...
@@traconisek it is
@@traconisek okay boy.
I don’t think anyone uses their laptop this long without pauses but as far as battery draining test goes, great work!!! I really appreciate how much efforts you’ve put into running the test and writing the scripts! Liked & subscribed!
Sadly for someone who uses their laptop for at least 10 hrs a day I think Battery is a deal breaker for me
I have the Air M1. And for programming usage, with safari, adobe xd and vs code opened (and some other stuff like Spotify), I can work without recharging for around 6 hours.
did you opt for the base model or get more ram? Still using it nowadays? Just looking on the used market for deals to dip my toe in. Thinking the M1 air still seems capable enough.
@@hobosnake1 I still have it but I’ll travel to the US next week to buy a new one. 8gb and 256gb is not enough to me now. I would recommend you to buy at least 16gb. I’m planning to buy the air m2 24gb and 1tb
I’ve been looking forward to this video for ever and it didn’t disappoint. Your videos are always well scripted and get to the point. Very nice channel and gave it a like.
Unplugged my M1 MBP at around 12:00PM today and after a full day of working on updating my resume, opening up a few PowerPoints, having Webull and ThinkorSwim open, and now lastly ending the night with a few TH-cam consumption; I'm now here sitting at 74% at 12:44AM. Yeah...the M1 MBP's battery life is no joke. I love it.
That will make me more money while selling it because the cycle count will be low as I won't plug it much
I have waited so long, THANK YOU SO MUCH 😊. I know it takes a long time so thank you ☺️
I've always been a windows guy but I'm getting pretty sick of noisy fans. Huge battery life and especially fanless processor is a huge plus
knowing that i can go out with a thinner laptop, without bringing a charger, and also still runs at it's peak performance, what a god damn huge plus
Same.
@@allexceed-8924 and its weightless, unlike gaming laptop that i use right now
@@devaraannantaris4812 anyway, I'm using a gaming laptop again rn lmao
@@allexceed-8924 lmaoo this is the sign that we need to change to macbook 💀
Good job as always man! I really liked this channel because of this kind of content.
Now that is a real battery test. That is some top notch hardwork. Great work man. Subscribed.
Came here to check if my M1 Air battery performance is what others experience, too. Yep, it's similar. Thanks! Love the narration btw
This man deserves some more likes for all this hardwork!
Watching battery drain test videos are kinda always makes my jaw drop! 😄
The winner is you. Great work man. Keep it up.
AWESOME video....AND thank you for doing this at 85% brightness levels..I hate dim screens and battery test that are done at 50% screen brightness are pretty much useless to me. You get thumbs up and a sub just for this video. Keep up the useful videos. THANK YOU!
Great video very informative, thank you!
The commentary is fire bro love it
What a drain test is take more than 9 hour to done, what a effort
what a video, fantastic job!
This is what I'm looking for. Thank!
In my macbook air m1 15 hours of video via internet, and still 26% of battery remains
@Aaditya kshetri automatic, 50-60%
Really!
Wtf! Is there any laptop that beats m1 macbook pro battery life?
Netflix or youtube?
I'm currently using my M1 MacBook Air. It shows 82% battery life on 4 hr screen time usage, mostly TH-cam videos, I have continuously watched a seminar for 1 hr 20 minuets.
Much thanks for the drain test!👍👍👍
" BOOM : Thank You for sharing your Hard Work ! "
subbed, your flow is too smooth im in. nice video.
The M1 Pro is beasty af. After an hour of use my battery drained 5%. Like, what. Apple ain't messin around man, they on some revolutionary shit.
😂😂😂😂😂 weak
@@praisethelord20 Calm your tits, I'm sure it wasn't that hilarious.
I thank God I’m a man!
I agree. I bought this laptop for the better battery life and more storage (I buy a lot of movies on iTunes). Bought it brand new 3 years ago. 96% battery health 3 years later and the battery still holds a charge like it did when I first got it. I use every day and I charge it about once a week (I use it less during the week as I'm working through the week but I use it tons during the weekend). Money well spent. I'll still be holding on to it for a long time.
Props for the dedication to making this vid
Thank you so much for this video 👍🏻👌🏻✌🏻
subscribed for the great commentary!
Respect for the efforts behind this video
Awesome video and great commentary!! Keeping brightness down to 50% net another 2-3 hrs for me.
Good times - battery drain test from our favorite battery drain tester 🥳
So killer. I can’t wait for the M1(X)? Version of the 4 port 13” MBP. Great testing. If you would have done 60% brightness you would have been there until 8am! LOL
Keep waiting, theyll never launch it.
@@Ricqu I thought they just did
You's the man bro!
This was an awesome video, bro
Excellent video, extremely useful to decide from M1 Air and M1 Pro, I personally go for Pro, battery life is important for me and also the fan, touch bar, better speaker, better mic and higher display brightness, make the difference.
Thanks for this video . Great video. ✌️✌️✌️
Amazing , my Asus laptop 1h30 battery life 😭
My intel i5 hp laptop sits at 1h 30m max performance and 3h at max battery life.😢😢😢😢
@@abhaynairs4996 my ryzen 5 laptop can give 15 hours on medium brightness
I could squeeze 20 hours out of M1 MacBook with my very light usage. The heaviest app I run is Chrome. Can’t wait to see the redesigned Air and Pro!
I was waiting for a specific video like this. A week ago I performed my own battery drain test on the M1 Air. After watching only You Tube videos for 14.5 hours straight, the battery was down to 7 percent. Perhaps if I watched less videos and more productive typing I could have went to 18 hours as Apple stated. Nice video.

how can I get exact battery usage with a chart like yours. My MacBook Air is now 82% as my screen time is 4hr of usage with 1 hr 20 minuets seminar video on TH-cam.
My friend, tell me pls, what was the brightness and quality of a youtube video? Did u watch it in full screen or not?
@@user-wo5vj5lm9v I am using chrome only TH-cam single tab open with one video played after each hour battery drains by 10%? why laptop model MBP 16GB
@@unseen.afghanistan because you’re using google chrome, it has always made MacBooks run out of battery significantly faster. Use safari more often.
@@mj-nwh actually it was not much difference in Safari as well. In safari the max battery hours are 12.
How to do the breakdown you did ?
Epic test 👍
Dude you deserve so much more views
Got the thumbs up for the Naruto Netflix test lol.
I like your style man. Sub
Damn almost 9 hours at 85% brightness. Will receive my M1 MBP on the 22nd.
Can’t wait!!!!
how is it?
damn here i was hesitating between both m1 macbooks, but the pro seems a to rly have a beefier bettery for the same perf. worth the extra price i think!
Great job😀😀😀
What an Amazing Comparison
Everybody talking about MacBooks battery life, while am looking at the ipad that lasted the whole test
It was literally just running the clock though
@@cuteflygon 😐
Great work, I highly appreciate the effort you have put in to make this video , making these videos are not easy by any means.I wish I had the power to give you a million subs, wondering why your so underrated , we will get there soon 🔥🔥🔥
Made my whole entire day, I havnt uploaded in a while all for preparation for these tests! iPhone battery drain test coming soon (HUGE SURPRISE in this video) & then finally the iPad drain test. Thanks so much for watching my vids my man! 💯
So true 💯
You are so rich I am a young kid and I really don’t have money I wish I could bye one of the stuff you include in you WHOLE channel
Amazing video
Mann such a nice vid bro. The M1 is a beast in itself. Much much appreciated that you invested so much time in this and at last voiceover one of the best voiceover you did in recent vids. Super Excited to see more such vids and I hope you reach 50k milestone ASAP. You are well deserving man. 🔥🙏🏻❤️❤️
I copped a M1 Air last Saturday since all the Apple stores in LA have been sold out for a while now
Entertaining commentary 👏🏻😂
Do you think staingate is still a problem on modern and new m1 retina screens?
Also, the intel air didn’t have a P3 color gamut. So the M1 air has more colors to push in the display.
Naruto is more than just an anime. Its a feeling, a way of life.
I can soo freakin agree dude XD
One piece is
Déjà-vu I was in this place before
Naruto is trash
show is trash....jojo bizarre adventure better
I got one of the m1s coming from a 15inch pro with 45 watt intel cpu and a discrete gpu, which would get like 3-5 hours max so this is mindblowing while the performacne is not lacking.
Yeah okay. My M1 MBP was not lasting 20 hours 😂 and I thought maybe I had a lemon. 6 hours at best, but with highest brightness and not even constant video playback. This makes more sense.
damn what the hell, what kind of human would use 85% brightness lmao, my eyes hurts when i even touch 50% of brightness, i usually use 30%-40%
I use 100%. I was actually surprised most people use it around 50%
@@Noproblem396 I use 100% of brightness on laptops
@@Noproblem396 My dude, its like looking at the sun at 100%
@@tanzen1020 I mean sure when you're viewing it in pitch black room. But I was talking about a well lit room, you know like pretty much how most people use their computers
I’m usually at 10%
M1 Pro would last better than the M1 Air as it has the bigger battery at 58.2Wh whilst Air is 49.9Wh. Great set of tests though and shows both the current M1 MacBooks are worth buying depending on your budget/needs.
It does make you wonder why Apple cannot squeeze more battery life out of the Axx batteries used in iPads.
That iPad is like yo y’all can’t last longer than me
All 3 Displays at 85% means the Mac Pro has a slight disadvantage tho since it has a brighter display than the air :D
I really liked and enjoyed this video! I 100% appreciate the honesty between ALL devices, and not just promoting one based on personal opinions. I have been told plenty of times through these tech vids, that the Macbook Air, is for average/basic use, and/or somewhat mild usage, compared to the pro which is for heavy duty. I am currently about to invest in a 2020 Macbook Air, based on my needs. I am currently, (sadly, lol) using a google chromebook; who knows what year it is tbh. I need/want the macbook for school purposes; 1, because apple pretty much has every app that play store doesn't have, and 2, I am a music major and want to use Logic Pro etc, but not heavily, just for basic experience until I need it enough to upgrade to a Macbook Pro. (Also because with the educational discount, the Macbook air is within my budget.) Thank you for this video!
The 2020 Macbook Air will be my first ever Macbook! I am SUPER excited!
Juan you love naruto too you have good taste ok who's your favorite character and great battery test
When deciding between these two (Air and Pro M1) I’m also considering longevity. I will keep whichever one that I buy for a few years before upgrading again and wonder if it’s a good idea to get the pro because of it being better, perhaps, for the sustained life of the cpu over the course of a few years.
I have the m1 MacBook Pro. 16gb ram with 1tb SSD. super worth it. Lasts more than an entire day even with casual use, school work, editing and music production. Ive never heard the fans turn on and I use it about 60% brightness.
FOR LONGEVITY MBAIR IS BETTER AS IT DOESNT HAVE ANY FANS SO NO ISSUES OF DUST GETTING IN
ALSO 30 W CHARGING IS HEALTHIER THAN 61 W
I have the 2020 MacBook Pro M1 13 inch. Bought it for the better battery life and more storage as I buy a lot of movies on iTunes. Bought the laptop 3 years ago now. I bought it brand new. The laptop is legit amazing. Never gave me any problems and the battery life is incredible still. Still holds a charge like it did when I first bought it. I charge it maybe once a week and I use it every day/every night. Use it less during the week as I work but I use it tons on the weekend. Truly is an awesome laptop and even 3 years later, works like a charm and the battery lasts for a long time still. Honestly, it was money well spent. It is a great laptop if you have the money to buy one.
The m1 chips have left us windows and linux users salivating😂
this is my first time watching this video
Some real Apple Juice right there.
I was laughing at macbook as I have toughbook 55, 8th Gen and 140Wh dual batteries. After watching your awesome video. I would have to say, rest in peace, intel. So hard to imagine M1 can be that strong. Awesome explanation, thank you, buddy
jesus christ 140 Wh? you carry them batteries like a backpack?
@@prathamdave5849 lmaoo
hey I have the 2019 air and basically I dont do any editing or anything special just reading, browsing writing papers and research do you think I really need to upgrade or should I wait maybe a year or 2 more (Also just to know I am really obsessed with new tech so I constantly think I am lagging behind)
I'll wait for the LED display version/M2 macs :)
Hi have my M1 macbookpro , it's a beast !
Another test today.
Screen brightness at 100%, backlit keys off. A bunch of web-surfing, downloading through a vpn, youtube, video watching through VLC and a small amount of wii/gamecube emulation.
5 1/2 hours.
Next time I test again, I'm going to lower my screen brightness to see how much of a difference it really makes. I love having my brightness jacked all the way up...this screen is such a HUGE improvement over my last computer...it's crazy!
Any way you can do your iPad battery drain test, but with the iPad Air 4? I keep hearing that the battery life for the Air 4 isn’t that impressive...
watching on M1 MacBook Pro
Now that the 14 inch Macbook Pro is out, help me decide between the 13 Pro and 14 Pro when it comes to battery life. I don't do any heavy stuff such as editing photos, videos or gaming. I will be using it only for web browsing, youtube and movies. The better display and more power of 14 inch don't matter to me, 13 Pro's display is already great to begin with. I'm leaning towards 13 Pro because it is slimmer, but at the same time the thicker 14 Pro has larger battery. So yeah please do a video comparison between them.
Couple of things - the extra GPU core in the pro means it’s performing at a higher level, and using more juice. The higher fps isn’t free.
Same might be true for the display, which is brighter on the pro. So the pro should probably be set at ~70% brightness.
It’s impressive that the pro had a nice gap despite using more power!
It's not, it wouldn't be using that extra core in any of those tests.it doesn't use the extra core if it's not needed and most of those tests were not graphic intensive
@@loughrey101 That’s not how it works. It’s used at all times )and uses more power).
rocking M1 Macbook Pro.
I am also getting same battery backup in my MacBook Air M1 and i thought "it's not even close to 18 hours🤔, i think there is some problem in my MacBook" and came here to see it's battery backup 😂
Do battery drain between air4 and 2020 pro plzzzz
85% brightness is not equal on all those displays. The MacBook Pro gets brighter so should have been set to a lower percentage.
it still completely destroyed the other two, despite being at disadvantage lol
I wonder whether the fact that the Air M1 has no fan plays a role in it. It's known that higher temperatures drain battery faster - could the fan inside the Pro M1 protect the fan better?
i have a macbook air m1 and it last 12-14 hours.
This is not a typical avery day usage (with benchmarking, games etc).
I dont play games at all. So apple claims are not so off , for me at least.
Exactly, you’d be right! There claims hold up better when you’re not doing all of this (deff not average) but still nice to see how they react to all the strain to their respective chipset. So pumped M1 macbook batteries are THIS good!
@@TheJuanOnly Can you tell me why my macbook pro.16 looses about 15 to 20.percent every hour on just 5 safari tabs with one tab playing music.
I even set my brightness to the lowewt possible
How.are you able to get your intel macnook air about 6 hours at 85 percent brightness and also.doing little bit gaming
I am.strugling to.last more than 4 hours with just safari open with 5 tabs
Any secret you have or any other different settings you follow
My battery health of 16 inch pro.is 97 percent with cycle count being 70 and its just 4 months old
I completely discharged battery only once in these 4 months
I maintain my charge between 25 to 75 most of the time.
I am.struglling lot to make it last more than 5 hours on normal usage.
You seem to.make.your 16 inch pro last above 8 hours in your older drain test videos.
How is that you can achieve it.

Awesome can I get that
Hello, I would like to consult you. Buy a MacBook Air M1, use a zoom meeting for an hour and the battery dropped to 82%, will it have come faulty? because I heard that the battery should last a long time, or is it zoom that consumes a lot? greetings and thanks.
Did you get solution of battery draining
How much time it takes for a full charge of 0-100%...??
Great Video

Experts please help me!
I have MacBook Air latest with 8 gb ram. All videos show you have to really load the ram to see it working slow. My 2 week old MbAir already showing spinning wheel and is SLOW to death when I have 20 tabs open in Safari with NO OTHER apps open! Is this normal for a super fast “ground breaking” chip laptop! I checked activity monitor 7.5 out of 8 Ram is occupied . What about Swap ram does that not help here?
My hostel plug gives less output so when I game GTA v while plugged in, the battery still drains like it goes from 85 to 35. What to do???

Hey Juan, will you do a battery drain test between the 14inch M1 macbook pro and the 16inch M1X the new ones that Apple announced today? I am torn as to which one I want to get..pretty please 🙏😊

U do know that big sur is a big battery drainer for the intel macs? If it was mojave on the intel, I’m sure it would last significantly longer
Happy I got a pro over air only for 200$ more since they were both on sale.
Awesome review but WTH! I though Apple said double the battery life! 🤔
That wasn’t a mixed usage watching Apple TV alone you can get what apple claims
I was scared because I got the pro 8GB... base model but omg this thing is so smooth
