When Apple announced the new MacBook Pro with the PROLED XDR display , I started feeling nervous about the battery life.

In this new era of notebooks, the Cupertino crew has crammed a massive power-hungry OLED touchscreen into an even thinner chassis, and built a backlight for that Apple logo on the lid for good measure. Historically, you can’t do these and keep the battery life worry-free.

Well, after walking out of the testing lab, I have to admit I was wrong. The PROLED MacBook Pro doesn’t just match the endurance of its bulkier mini-LED predecessors — it rolls and smokes the entire Windows AI PC ecosystem in the process.
