Losing 15% capacity over almost three years isn’t too bad at all. When it was new, it had a capacity of 8755 mAh.
When you run the app, you’ll see something like the screenshot below.Īs well as the cycle count, this app shows us that the battery now has a Full Charge Capacity of 7098 mAh. If you want a little bit more info that’s easier to understand, download the free app coconutBattery. For example, it tells you your battery’s current maximum capacity but not it’s original capacity. System Information has most of the data you need to assess your battery’s health, but it’s not very well laid out and could provide a bit more information. If there is a problem with your battery, the “Condition” entry (which shows Normal in our example) will display something like “Service Battery.” Get a Bit More Information with coconutBattery The battery doesn’t need to be replaced yet, but it probably will need to be done later this year.
I'm happy enough to work with the old style TB2 and USB3/TypeA for now and keep using my 3+ magsafe2 power supplies.The MacBook in our example has a cycle count of 695. Plus the feedback from people I work with on how little the touch bar does for them and currently how annoying USB-C is. If I had to pay full RRP ($1500-1800 depending on SSD size) then I may have held off a bit, but getting a discount on a brand new machine seems to tip the scales for me. It's worked pretty well (and I'm typing this post on it now. I'll hang onto it in the current state to have as a spare/backup or test machine though. I really didn't want to deal with ordering another battery, plus a SSD on the MBP. and macfixit has a 480G SSD kit for another $600ish. The Air itself with deals on ebay came in under A$1000. I'm going to appreciate the Air being lighter and I'd be pretty happy with 6h battery life (compared to 3h and dropping). but I honestly can't tell the difference. I realise I miss out in going from Retina -> non Retina. I've looked at replacing the battery (I get 2.5-3 hours now) and instead bit the bullet and ordered a 2017 Macbook Air.
I have a fully upgraded Macbook Pro Retina w/ 2.9Ghz i7 w/ 256G SSD. I'm going through exactly the same thought process.
