Many 15-inch MacBook Pro notebooks have two graphics processors (GPU)—a discrete GPU and an integrated GPU. The discrete GPU provides substantial graphics performance but uses more energy. The integrated GPU optimizes battery life by using less energy.
Connect your MacBook Pro to a power outlet using the included USB-C Charge Cable and 61W Power Adapter or 96W Power Adapter. Optimized Battery Charging helps to reduce the wear on your battery and improve its lifespan by learning your daily charging routine.
