Dan Moren on Nostr: One big Apple Silicon improvement that sometimes gets taken for granted is just HOW ...
One big Apple Silicon improvement that sometimes gets taken for granted is just HOW good the power efficiency is. Yesterday I got to the coffee shop and realized I had forgotten to charge my M1 Air—it only had ~20%. Almost three hours later, I packed up to go home and it still had about 5% battery and was doing fine. (My old Intel Air would have died in under an hour.)
The best encapsulation of this is that I just don’t carry a charging cable anymore unless I'm packing for a multi-day trip.
