Yes, and you will find that it has to supplement with battery power even when plugged into power. On many occasions, I've walked away to eat lunch and come back and my battery has gone from 100% to 0% in an hour, even though it's plugged into power. It happened this morning while my 16" MBP was doing a Time Machine backup and the screen and the external display were both off. The battery had gone from 100% to 4% in a little more than an hour. And the only way to get it to start charging again was to unplug the external display. The power system can't support the GPU and CPU Apple is selling for these laptops.
I think you are talking about the battery itself, I am talking about the battery health.
By the way it's been a few weeks since I posted this, battery health is at 95% now according to iStat. I am glad that it doesn't drop 1% every night like it was in the first 2 days.
Either way I am going to replace it with a Mac Pro for better performance, thermals and noise.
That's completely normal. I noticed my new MBP ranges from 95% to 100% throughout the day, I don't pay too much attention to it. How do you like the XDR? I'm super jealous, lol, that's my dream monitor if I could afford one.
It's a great monitor! I WFH for many months now and it's not going to change until January at least. I do programming as my daily job and as my hobby - so I stare at this screen almost all of my waking hours.
Text is sharp which was my number 1 priority, colours are great and I love all the real estate I am getting with 32 inch - compared to 27 on my iMac or 15 on the laptop itself. The USB hub at the back is actually quiet convenient, when I switch computers (work/personal) I hook the TB cable to a different computer and just switch the KB/Mouse/Trackpad with a cable that is already attached to it on the back.
Do keep in mind that sometimes you can see the shift in color on the edges even when you are staring at it directly. It's not a big deal, especially when looking at blacks. I don't do any photo/video editing stuff so I don't care that much - either way it does a better job than other monitors on the market with this size.
It's really pricey and definitely an overkill for many people (myself included) - I don't use most of the features of this display except the high pixel density which is really the only reason I bought this monitor. I didn't even care that much when they launched it - it only became more and more appealing when I started working from home.
