Wi-Fi v1.3 at 150 nits 17 h 53 min, full brightness 6 h 44 min, Big Buck Bunny H.264 1080p 22 h 08 min, maximum-brightness load 1 h 31 min. Minutes converted to hours and rounded to two decimals. Review lists battery 72.6 Wh, maker nominal 72.4 Wh is retained instead. Maximum-load run switches to energy-saving at 4% battery after 77 minutes, so normal names the starting power mode, not an unchanged mode throughout full depletion.21Measurementwhitehallpubliclibrary.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/CR_buying_guide2026.pdfRead 7 October 2026Consumer Reports Buying Guide 2026, PDF page 68 (printed page 67), exact MW2U3LL/A row: M4 10-core, 16 GB, 512 GB, web 16.75 h and video 16.00 h. Printed page 68 How We Test describes full battery depletion while loading a sequence of web pages over Wi-Fi, and full depletion while looping 4K video. Bluetooth and 3G/4G are disabled. Brightness is described as usable indoors or outdoors but no numeric value is given. OS, browser, codec and power mode are unstated and are omitted. These are the two added rows without power_mode. They are distinct from the four pre-existing Notebookcheck normal-mode runs.
