As third-parties have run real tests to evaluate the battery life of the new MacBook Pro, it could be interesting to further understand how such impressive improvement has been made possible. Apple published long and detailed information.
- Lithium Polymer can be molded to a desired shape.
Once decision was made to have it as a built-in component, apple engineers could then expand its capacity. - Charging cycles and power management have been optimized.
If the built-in strategy offers longer battery life, we will have to look on the long-term is the lifetime of those batteries are also ranging from 500 to 700 cycles. AS the first model featuring this technology, 17" MBP, was introduced in January, we will have to wait about 1 to 2 years before having a clear feedback on the real interest of such batteries.
