Did they really just say up to 11 hours additional battery life, and just breeze past it in 5 seconds like it was nothing?

I’m curious what this was in comparison to, and what accounts for this improvement in battery life.

That alone seems pretty nuts, even without taking anything else into account.

I have zero reason to upgrade from my 14” M1 Pro with 16gb ram. I use it for work and all I do are spreadsheets and email. It’ll last me years. I just use portable ssd’s to increase the base 512gb ssd.
