I bought a new Macbook Pro just over two weeks ago and am concerned about the battery. I have noticed it drains extremely fast when unplugged. Today I sat down to watch Superbad (the DVD) and started with a fully charged battery. I got ~1:15 into the movie and was at 5% and had to plug it back in. I had the screen on about 90% brightness (2 bars from full). Normally, just browsing the net and such, I get closer to two hours of battery life. Is this normal? It seems like a very short battery life to me. Thanks.
