MacBook Pro Guide Targets Up to 24 Hours of Battery Life With 60Hz and Safari Tweaks

Summary
Apple’s MacBook Pro can reach up to 24 hours of video streaming and 16 hours of web use, and the latest guide says everyday settings changes can stretch that further.
Chrome is flagged as a major drain because it runs separate processes for each tab; Safari is presented as the most power-efficient option, with Microsoft Edge as a middle ground.
Low Power Mode, software updates, and checking the menu-bar battery indicator for apps using significant energy are highlighted as the quickest usage-side fixes.
Display changes can also cut drain: lower brightness, disable keyboard backlighting in bright rooms, switch refresh rate from 120Hz ProMotion to 60Hz, and shorten screen-off time when idle.
The guide adds that hardware habits matter too, urging users to keep the laptop on a flat surface to avoid heat buildup that can shorten battery sessions.
