Li-Ion is a chemical process and those things are never 100% no matter what you do. Needless to say I'm 90% inclined to go for the MBP, it's just the reliability that concerns me, nothing else.īatteries are going to be a mixed bag no matter what you do. What are the practices that are conducive to the maintenance of excellent battery life? I've heard of users reporting having their MBP batteries at around 100 cycles and 95% of health after 2 years of usage by plugging them to AC power whenever possible.What can be done to make sure that I don't have to ask for a keyboard replacement at least in the first 2 years of usage?.So I'd like to know what I can do to get the best bang for the buck. After all, it'll be a 2K+ investment, give or take, with either option. I'd greatly appreciate if you could give me some pointers/advice in regards to both points 1 and 2 above. After 3 years the battery was already showing signs of severe decay (this was in early 2017) and nowadays, I'll be lucky if I get 3 hours of onscreen time doing the most basic of tasks. I'd charge it every 2 days at first, and after 1 year it increased to 1 charge per day. Considering that I've been using an iPad air ever since release, I can tell you right now that the " just don't worry about it and use it however you like" notion is complete and utter BS: I used to use the ipad everyday as a note-taking device in classes, and for reading/listening to music before bed. Either way, I've heard people on both sides of the fence (" have it plugged whenever possible" vs " only plug in when necessary") tell me that I shouldn't worry about it, and that the battery will be fine for 5 years, at the very least. But I've also heard the opposite: That I should let it de-charge and then re-charge again, and this seems like a hassle for someone (read: me) who will already be dealing with creative and writting-related focus problems as it is. Of course, it would technically be "plugged in", in a desktop replacement situation, and I've heard that having it plugged in at all times will keep the battery healthy and at near-maximum capacity for years to come. And seeing as in the next year I'll be delving deep in my uni thesis (and this means 9 hours+ with the computer turned on), I'm kinda worried about how the battery will be affected. Battery cycles and long-term battery health: If I bought a macbook pro, I'd have it connected to an thunderbolt-3 external monitor.warping or half-melting) the key mechanism inside, seeing as not even taking all anti-dust measures in the world (keyboard covers, washing hands, not eating while using the macbook) seem to make a positive reliability impact. BUT after a few hours investigating the issue, I've come to realize that not only are 2018 Macbook Pros safe yet (there are already many complaints about double tabs and non-responding keys), but also the issue with the butterfly keyboard seems to be more related with long term heat exposure damaging (i.e. It is common knowledge that by now, Apple has " improved" the mechanism, by adding an small sheet of plastic, with a protective effect against dust and debris. The Butterfly Keyboard reliability in the foreseeable future: This is a bit of a shot in the dark.There are only 2 things making me wonder if at the end of the day I'll be making the smartest decision: Whether the MBP would be 13 or 15 inch is the least of my concerns: Under normal circumstances, I'd go all out on the Macbook Pro, seeing as how my future computer in the near future is supposed to be mostly at home, and having to not worry about a longer commute/absence certainly makes me feel relieved about my investment for the future. iPhone, iPad or Apple Watch wallpapers.Īs the title implies, I'm currently split between these two as my next purshase: Mac Mini or Macbook Pro.
