Comment: There’s something really odd about Consumer Reports’ MacBook Pro battery test results

<div class="feat-image"></div>
<p>Consumer Reports <a href="https://9to5mac.com/2016/12/22/macbook-pro-consumer-reports-review/" target="_blank">said yesterday[/url] that the 2016 <a href="https://9to5mac.com/guides/macbook-pro/" target="_blank">MacBook Pro[/url] was the first ever Apple laptop that the organization couldn’t recommend, due to battery-life issues.</p>
<p>That in itself didn’t strike me as too odd. Different users have definitely been reporting very variable results in times of battery life, and some of them have been well below half the ten hours that Apple claims. Our video rundown showed as much and <a href="https://9to5mac.com/2016/12/14/opinion-macbook-pro-battery-life-estimate/" target="_blank">our poll[/url] found that the largest group of readers was reporting <a href="https://9to5mac.com/2016/12/15/2016-macbook-pro-battery-life-estimates/" target="_blank">five hours or less[/url].</p>
<p>Given that Consumer Reports was seeing as little as 3.75 hours in its own tests, that would be good enough reason to withhold a recommendation. But it was the high-end results the organization <a href="http://www.consumerreports.org/laptops/macbook-pros-fail-to-earn-consumer-reports-recommendation/" target="_blank">reported[/url] that puzzle me …</p>
