The first MacBook Air with an M1 processor ran for around a third longer than its predecessor, while the 16-inch 2021 MacBook Pro doubled battery life in video playback compared to the 2019 model.<\/p>\n<p>You should expect around 17 hours of \u201cwireless web\u201d with a 13-inch MacBook Pro with an M2 chip and similar performance from the revised M2 MacBook Air released in 2022. MacBook Pro owners with an M1 Pro chip can expect around 16 hours in the 16-inch model, which boasts the best battery life of the 2021 models.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-849145\" data-pagespeed-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/macbook_battery.png?trim=1,1&amp;bg-color=000&amp;pad=1,1\" alt=\"MacBook battery life in macOS 13 Ventura\" width=\"650\" height=\"233\" src=\"\/pagespeed_static\/1.JiBnMqyl6S.gif\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><\/p>\n<p>The M1 Max doesn\u2019t fare quite so well, but considering the power you have at your disposal, these are still impressive numbers. Depending on what you go for, you may be comfortable leaving your charger at home when you head out.<\/p>\n<p>Whichever model you have, you should resist leaving your MacBook plugged in all day. Take advantage of the freedom that an all-day battery provides. If you\u2019re concerned about keeping your MacBook battery in tip-top shape, install an app like <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/apphousekitchen.com\">AlDente<\/a> to keep your laptop from exceeding 80% charge.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Best-in-Class_Laptop_Speakers\"><\/span>Best-in-Class Laptop Speakers<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The MacBook Pro still has some of the best (if not\u00a0<em>the best<\/em>) laptop speakers on the market. Apple\u2019s 2021 refresh improved on already-impressive results, adding a depth to the bass response that few other models can match. They sound incredible when you\u2019re sitting right in front of them, and they can fill a room as well as many portable Bluetooth speakers if the need arises.<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 650px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-849146\" data-pagespeed-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/macbook_pro_2021_speaker.png?trim=1,1&amp;bg-color=000&amp;pad=1,1\" alt=\"MacBook Pro 2021 speaker grille\" width=\"650\" height=\"419\" src=\"\/pagespeed_static\/1.JiBnMqyl6S.gif\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span class=\"imagecredit\">Apple<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The MacBook Air doesn\u2019t quite have as much room in the chassis for such impressive sound, but it\u2019s still up there for a laptop of this size. Don\u2019t feel bound to your headphones when listening to music. Both the Pro and the Air are great for watching movies or streaming video, assuming you\u2019re in an environment where you can turn the volume up.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"HDR_Playback_on_a_Bright_Display\"><\/span>HDR Playback on a Bright Display<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The 14-inch and 16-inch 2021 MacBook Pro is fitted with a beautiful mini-LED display that goes even brighter than many modern TVs. Reaching a peak brightness of 1600 nits in HDR content, prepare to be dazzled when watching HDR10, Dolby Vision, or HDR videos you\u2019ve shot yourself on an iPhone.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks to the mini-LED <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/technology\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"4\" title=\"Technology\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">technology<\/a>, the MacBook Pro makes heavy use of dimming zones to increase contrast ratio by switching off the backlight to improve black reproduction. The 14-inch model has 2,010 dimming zones, while the 16-inch model has 2,554. It\u2019s not quite OLED-quality (and blooming can be an issue) but it\u2019s still one of the best notebook displays on the market.<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 650px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-849147\" data-pagespeed-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/macbook_pro_xdr_display.png?trim=1,1&amp;bg-color=000&amp;pad=1,1\" alt=\"MacBook Pro 2021 XDR Display\" width=\"650\" height=\"416\" src=\"\/pagespeed_static\/1.JiBnMqyl6S.gif\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span class=\"imagecredit\">Apple<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Even the M2 MacBook Air can put up a decent fight, though its display only reaches a maximum brightness of 500 nits.

But all MacBook owners, regardless of model, have a built-in trackpad.<\/p>\n<p>You can see the full list of gestures and customize them under System Settings &gt; Trackpad. Some of the most useful gestures include pinch to zoom and rotating with two fingers for manipulating maps and photo editing, swiping left or right with three (or four) fingers to switch spaces, triggering Mission Control or App Expos\u00e9 with a three-finger swipe up and down, and quickly revealing the desktop by spreading three fingers and your thumb.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-849148\" data-pagespeed-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/trackpad_macos_settings.png?trim=1,1&amp;bg-color=000&amp;pad=1,1\" alt=\"macOS 13 Ventura trackpad settings\" width=\"650\" height=\"437\" src=\"\/pagespeed_static\/1.JiBnMqyl6S.gif\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><\/p>\n<p>The Trackpad settings panel also has some videos to help demonstrate how to perform the gestures and what they do.

That said, it\u2019s such a great feature that it was worth mentioning anyway. Now that Windows on ARM supports most 64-bit x86 applications, there\u2019s never been a better time to jump in.<\/p>\n<p>You can do this easily with a paid solution like Parallels Desktop 18, which downloads Windows and sets everything up for you.

Older Mac users who have an Intel chip can make use of most of the same solutions, or install Windows using Boot Camp.<\/p>\n<p>You don\u2019t even\u00a0<em>strictly<\/em> need to pay for Windows, since core functionality is free if you can live with the \u201cActivate Windows\u201d overlay in the corner of the screen.
