About this tag
This tag collects WindowsForum.com discussion of macbook battery life, with a focus on how browser choice affects runtime on Apple laptops. The tagged content examines Apple's claim that Safari can stream video up to five additional hours longer than Chrome on a Mac, and questions whether that benchmark reflects real workplace use.
