I am currently using a black macbook thats about a year old and I'm about to buy an airport express so I can have a completely wireless desk. does anyone know if this will have an effect on my battery life or will i still get just as much usage time as i had before? thanks

Using wireless, much like turning on other services, will deplete your battery quicker. That said, you should still get good battery life out of it.

I sometimes use my MB on my desk with the setup that you are about to embark on. It shouldn't mater if you are plug-in which most of the time I am because I'm at home.
If I get lazy and move around the house then I'm not plug-in but I do get at least 3-4 hours of battery life, just doing light stuff like web browsing, word processing.

Hi all, similar question to op i found on the search, so thought i'd ask.
I have a 17" macbook pro - sept 2007.
What should the battery life be? as i am getting around 2 hours, this is when i leave it on over night and i am downloading HD Trailers using utorrent. I know it's around 2 hours a sit give a snap shot of the time it run out of juice.
Should i look to be getting a new battery?
Many thanks
