Does anyone else find that their battery life while running in WinXP boot camp is unbelievably short?? I don't think I can even get 1.5 hours, whereas when running under OS X - there's no problems.

Yep, I agree - Windows does seem to be more power hungry on this hardware. Not sure why.

Liquid and computers don't mix. It might seem simple, but we see an incredible amount of people post here about spills. Keep drinks and other liquids away from your expensive electronics!
