I was just wondering how people's macs perform off the charger.
My mac pro is about a year old and i have it plugged in most of the time when i am around the house. The battery has less then 50 cycles on it and i make sure to drain it fully( use it till it tells me its turning itself off) at least once a month according to battery care articles i read from apple.
I really only seem to get about 3.5 hours out of the battery and that's doing menial things like browsing the internet. I know that the more stuff you have going on the more juice the mac will need the draw from the battery, but im just wondering if others are getting more life out of their batteries off the charger.
