Apple had held onto the battery life crown for quite some time, with the MacBook Pro 16 M1, M2, and M3 all setting new benchmarks for laptops with the best battery life. Apple lost that crown this summer to the Dell XPS 13 (9345) with Qualcomm's new Snapdragon X Elite chipset, but it's not anywhere close to giving up.
Apple unveiled the updated MacBook Pro lineup with the M4, M4 Pro, and M4 Max chipsets on Wednesday during the M4 Mac Week announcements. The new Macs include several updates, including more ports, processors optimized for Apple Intelligence, and the new M4 silicon.
