> or the prioritizing of thinness over battery life.

Apple’s current MacBook lineup starting in late 2017 (i.e. the thinnest laptops and with butterfly keyboards) have the best battery life of any Apple laptop ever made.

I don’t recall Gruber ever complaining about the battery life of Apple’s thin devices. Do you have a link?

But the battery life could be better if they would just keep the size and weight the same. How many people wouldn’t be willing to have a slightly thicker/heavier laptop for more battery life?

But battery life is good in ideal situations but when you start doing anything CPU/GPU intensive, battery life isn’t that great.
