Apple's new MacBook Pro endurance is questioned

According to the news of the micro-network on January 4, Huawei wants to emerge in the PC market. In 2017, Huawei's notebook sales target is 2 million units, 10 times that of 2016. And the eye-catching role of the notebook market, Apple, November 9, 2016, from the market research company Slice Intelligence report that the MacBook Pro just listed 5 days, sales have reached 78% of the 2015 MacBook annual sales, in addition to sales The amount of the new MacBook Pro is four times that of Microsoft's Surface Book sales a year ago.

Although it seems that the strength of the two is still very different, but Apple's quality problems appeared in this new release of the new MacBook Pro.

According to the latest news, in October last year, Apple released the new MacBook Pro in the United States, the official claim that the notebook is used normally for at least 10 hours. Soon after, the new MacBook Pro was launched in many regions around the world, but some users found that its battery life performance is not as good as the official promotion.

For example, Sina Weibo CEO Wang Gaofei said that the new MacBook Pro was powered down too quickly, and the standby was actually 25% of power. He said that he only opened Excel and Chrome browser (with the premise of prohibiting flash), and lost 10% of electricity in 20 minutes. I suggest you not buy the new MacBook Pro.

In December last year, the US Consumer Reports magazine published the results of the endurance test on the new MacBook Pro. After many tests, they found that the new MacBook Pro has extremely unstable battery life, such as the 13-inch MacBook with Touch Bar. Pro battery life varies from 3.75 to 16 hours. Obviously this is very different from Apple's publicity. The Consumer Report has a five-fold gap between the results of the new MacBook Pro's endurance test.

The 10-hour normal use of the new MacBook Pro is the conclusion of Apple's own test. Is it a problem with Apple's own test method? The test method Apple gives in the official website is this:

Testing battery life during wireless Internet access is based on wireless browsing of 25 popular websites, with the display adjusted to 75% of maximum brightness or 12 times from minimum brightness. The battery life of the iTunes movie is tested by playing HD 1080p HD video. The display is adjusted to 75% of the maximum brightness or 12 times from the minimum brightness. Test battery life during standby by keeping your system connected to your wireless network and logging into your iCloud account, entering standby mode while keeping the Safari and mail applications open, and setting all system settings to default.

According to the information provided by the official, we found that Apple's test method for the new MacBook Pro is more in line with the user's daily usage habits. Why does the Consumer Report measure far from Apple's?

After the research of both parties, it was found that Consumer Reports would disable the local caching function of Safari browser when testing webpage browsing, so Safari browser must obtain data from the network every time it opens the webpage. If the local caching feature is turned on, Safari can store the image information on the hard disk, and there is no need to reload when the same image appears.

The Huawei MateBook weighs only 640g and has a thickness as low as 6.9mm. This thin and light body is convenient for carrying, and the battery life seems to be a concern of many consumers. At the press conference, Huawei called “Easy to meet the needs of a day's office” and also stated that “data is based on the Huawei test model”. Some netizens said that after heavy use, the battery life is only 6 hours. It seems that both manufacturers have to work hard on the battery life problem.
