The original poster, akholief, asked whether it was normal for the battery to drain 65-percent in a two-hour Zoom meeting. For example, in an Apple Discussion thread, at least four participants confirmed that their 16-inch MacBook Pro (with an Intel CPU) saw the battery drop rapidly when using the video meeting app. Zoom conferencing is known to be a burden on MacBook batteries. M1 MacBook Battery & ZoomĪpple’s M1 Mac computers are known to be fast and efficient, but owners of the new devices are beginning to share impressive early results. However, the most impressive news shared was the long battery life. The M1 has already proven to be very fast, but somewhat more surprising is that the Zoom Mac app is not using native M1 code, but runs via the Rosetta 2 emulator instead. The post describes super fluid performance, with no slowdowns, even when using a virtual background. The MacRumors forum poster, acidfast7_redux, used an M1 MacBook Air for several Zoom video conferences and other work, solely using battery power.

Apple didn’t simply accept that as sufficient though.
The density of the processor automatically grants better speed and efficiency. The M1 system on a chip bundles most major computer processing components together on a single wafer of silicon at a scale of 5-nanometers between transistors. A helpful owner of one of the new MacBook notebooks detailed their usage throughout a long day of meetings and responded to questions about performance, features used, and even provided screenshots showing battery life.Įxtended battery life is a unique benefit of using a processor with a design similar to that of a smartphone.
Apple's M1-powered MacBook is apparently quite adept at handling Zoom video conferencing, a known challenge for laptops.
