2016 macbook pro (i5, 8gb ram, 256gb ssd), bought in 2017. Battery never above 4/5 hours, use chrome, never do anything strenuous, moderate brightness. Will sometimes get hot if watching netflix or something. Is this normal? Seems inadequate to me, was expecting closer to 10 when I got it. I try and run the battery down to 15% then charge it all the way back up to maintain it.
Cheers
edit - I have fruitjuice installed and at the start used 40 mins on battery a day then plugged in when i had access to a socket. Now I just use the battery (as described above) and its only ever plugged in when it needs charging, which the apple guy in store told me was the best thing to do.
