which is exactly what Coconut Battery will tell you (ie whether you need a new battery or not).Į.g. #SCREENFLOW MAC M1 PRO#Ĭoconut Battery tells me that the battery in the 2012 Macbook Pro on which I am typing this was manufactured in 2014 and has had 720 load cycles. So after over 6 years it has plenty of life. Conversely, the previous battery - that this one replaced - was a dud that lasted less than 2 years (and was replaced under warranty). In my experience, when a Mac shows random power-related issues, an SMC reset is a good thing to try first. I don't see Coconut Battery on the App Store. Is it that much better than those on the App Store? I prefer downloading from the App Store. But too soon to tell if it improved anything. I have been using it since long before the App Store existed and I like it. I don't know the apps on the app store so I cant advise, unfortunately. In general you want to look for the "load cycles" - Apple has suggested numbers at which they expect degradation - and then effective capacity (%). You can get the load cycle information from settings (see the link below) - I use CoconutBattery because it maintains the history over time. For your 2015 Macbook Air, Apple expects it to retain 80% of its capacity after 1,000 load cycles. On the SMC reset: sometimes it is hard to tell if it worked, but no harm in doing a few times in a row. Perhaps, but this particular author is pretty well respected, and his review is consistent with real-world reports on various forums. He tries to prove a point not realizable in real world, by skirting the edge of usage envelope, running Windows-centric application for which there are native packaged Mac apps.īetween Safari, Brave, Firefox, etc, not in a million years will an app user run Microsoft Edge on a Mac. Or WinZip when MacOS already decompresses files. Or Adobe PDF when those files open with Preview. #SCREENFLOW MAC M1 SOFTWARE#Īnd the list of incompatible software - OBS Studio, Nectar plugin, Neutron plugin, Screenflow - what even are these? #SCREENFLOW MAC M1 PDF# Highlighting the fact that Apple computers doesn't play "AAA" games and doesn't have "5G/LTE" built-in is like highlighting the fact that cats don't bark.
