When Apple released its Retina MacBook Pro in a 13-inch model earlier this year, the tech community was elated. The company's dedicated team of designers and engineers seemed to have outdone itself, since this machine was as slim and beautiful as it was powerful. But many consumers were understandably concerned about the fact that such a high-resolution screen would likely suck up battery life.

If you were worried about the quality of the battery in the MacBook Pro Retina, you can rest easy. Independent testers from Which? magazine tested the new MacBook against 19 of its competitors in order to see face-to-face which one ended up having the best battery life, and the 13-inch Apple Retina MacBook Pro came out on top.

Competing in the race for battery life were 18 Windows 8 models, as well as a Chromebook. While the Mac finished in first place, the Acer Aspire timeline Ultra lasted the second longest, running out just a half hour before the leader. Editorial staff from Which? noted the fact that the low price and large screen helped to make it an attractive choice, but the battery life of the machine really couldn't stack up when it came to running video, with the Apple lasting more than an hour longer.

Factors such as battery size and quality should be considered equally choosing the right customized laptops.
