4 battery and charging tips to keep your Apple MacBook running longer than ever

# MacBooks Now Have Better Battery-Saving Features Apple has finally given MacBooks the same battery-management tools it long offered iPhones, with macOS 26 introducing features like Low Power Mode that can stretch your laptop's battery life when you're away from a charger. Turning on Low Power Mode reduces the laptop's energy use by slowing down its processor and dimming the screen, which won't noticeably affect everyday tasks like email and web browsing, though it may impact heavy-duty work like video editing. The feature can be enabled in seconds from your Mac's menu bar.
