New Macbooks

Hey, i have just ordered my new Macbook (first one)

and was wondering how long is the battery life of the new macbooks?



Thanks.

Battery life... you mean as reallly battery "life" or as in how long does the computer run from the battery while using it?

I bought my MB on May and iStat Pro says my battery health is 91%, my MB runs from the battery everyday and i charge it everyday. So i guess it's really good.

Now... if you want to know how long does it run from the battery... well, depends on what you're using, i.e. if you're watching a movie the battery won't last long and you'll have to plug your MB, but for documents, web surfing and chatting you can use it around 2 and a half hours

light use 2.5hrs? thats quite low.

should be more like 3.5-4

Hey, sorry i meant like how long it last for, only 2hrs i heard it was more like 4-5 hours just surfing the net. ?

I get 3.5-4 hours doing light work with wireless on, bluetooth off, and brightness down.

The less you do on your computer when it's on battery, the longer life you'll get.

At school, I put it on better battery life.
I turn the luminosity way down
I turn the sound off
Bluetooth off
I only open a few programs (preview + word for example)

The battery last from 8h30 to 13h30
If I turn the airport off, I can manage to get close to 14h (5h30).

No jokes.
