Apple working with Consumer Reports to understand MacBook Pro battery results and 1st ‘do not recommend’ rating<div class="feat-image">
</div>
<p>Consumer Reports yesterday
dropped a bombshell on Apple, making the new
MacBook Pro the first MacBook ever to not receive the publication’s recommendation. As for its reasoning, Consumer Reports explained that the inconsistent, yet sometimes impressive, battery life was too big of an issue to overlook.</p>
<p>Now, Apple Marketing executive Phil Schiller
says that the company is working with Consumer Reports to “understand” the tests.</p>
<p>Working with CR to understand their battery tests. Results do not match our extensive lab tests or field data</p>
<p>That’s what’s so ironic about this: Consumer Reports reported a three and a half hour test on the MacBook Pro, which if you’ve used one like me, know is completely possible with some serious CPU-intensive tasks. But then again tested in the 18-19+ hour range which is totally unbelievable, even if just the screen was on. So if anything, this test is in Apple’s favor.</p>
