While the MacBook Pro 14 achieved 24 hours in our usual battery test, this doesn’t mean it will always last that long Apple Silicon is very good at limiting power draw in more mundane situations. That’s a huge difference and limits Dell's potential for on-the-go performance. The Dell XPS 13 Plus, which offers hardware more comparable to the MacBook Pro 14, lasts only seven hours on battery power. For instance, the Lenovo ThinkPad X13s achieved a respectable 18 hours of battery life, which is impressive for an ARM-based Windows machine but is still six hours short of the MacBook. It's clear Apple’s M2 chips make strides in optimizing battery life beyond the already high standards set by Apple’s M1, M1 Pro, and M1 Max.Ĭompared to Windows laptops, the MacBook Pro 14 M2 Pro wins yet again. That’s still an excellent result but obviously falls short of the latest MacBook Pro 14’s performance. To put things into perspective, the MacBook Pro 16 with an M1 Max chip achieved an impressive 22.5 hours of battery life. The battery lasts so long that the laptop only needs to be charged once every few days when used for less demanding work. This level of endurance is simply astounding and makes the MacBook Pro 14 an excellent choice for those who travel often for work or fun. This MacBook achieved a whopping 24 hours and 12 minutes of battery life.
The Apple MacBook Pro 14 (2023) measures 14 inches diagonally, offers 3024 x 1964 resolution, and uses a Mini-LED backlight system with 2,554 dimming zones. You can find the full configuration list on Apple’s website. The M2 Max chip also comes with two video encode engines and two ProRes encode and decode engines instead of the single one of each in the M2 Pro chip.
Apple offers various CPU, GPU, RAM, and storage upgrades, which top out at an M2 Max chip with 12-core CPU and 38-core GPU, 96GB of RAM, and 8TB of solid state storage for $6,300. The Apple MacBook Pro 14 M2 Pro I reviewed was the base model, which retails at $2,000.
