Like seeing beautiful women, we got excited reading the specs of this latest MacBook Pro. However, there are some things that block. On its website, Apple said that this latest MacBook Pro batteries can last up to 7 hours. This value is quite good, but not as good as the previous value, which is 9 hours. According to our experience with a MacBook Pro last version before Sandy Bridge, even the battery can last up to 11 hours with the most efficient power setting. The decrease is quite significant.
