This test began at 6:55 PM ET at 100 percent battery. I then booted up the same video used in the previous test. As with the previous test, I charged the MacBook Pro to 100 percent, set the display to 50 percent brightness, and made sure no other app besides Chrome was running. For good measure, I also restarted the laptop after the update. I updated to Chrome version 1.177, which is the latest version at time of writing.

I was expecting to see a boost, but the final runtime left my jaw on the floor. After seeing how long I could run a video before the Chrome update, I was eager to see how much longer the MacBook Pro 16-inch would last post-update.
