The autonomy of the MacBook Air 2013 revised upwards with OS X Mavericks

The arrival of Mavericks OS X , the latest version of Apple's desktop OSsucceeding Mountain Lion seems could not be more beneficial for theMacBook Air 2013 .

Moreover, John Siracusa, Ars Technica Web site, found that allowed the Mavericks MacBook Air empower them already very generous. Are affected by this increased autonomy MacBook Air 13.3 "2013 vintage, as well as the MacBook Pro ... 2007, to a lesser extent! For the latter, it was rather unexpected.

Nevertheless: in the lot, the better off the MacBook Air, since gaining up to 30% extra range simply from Mountain Lion Mavericks. In some cases, the computer will be able to hold a charge for 15 hours, which is not nothing!

To be even more precise, Siracusa said he conducted his tests from a MacBook Air 13.3 "2013 with successive OS X 10.8.5 and OS X GM Mavericks. He then created a script for web browsing and text editing (including surfing on websites using Flash). The results have sometimes varied significantly, but he earned an average of 2 hours of talk time from an OS X version to another (Mountain Lion Mavericks, always).

One might think that this gain autonomy is partly due to the module Power Saver, equipping safari in Mavericks, and automatically identifying the plug-in launched on the sidelines of a website, and the pause to save the battery. But more generally, Apple has stepped up efforts to climb the autonomy of its Macs Mavericks. And we can say that this is it!
