I have a Macbook Pro and I recently put Leopard on it, and now the battery dies after about 85 minutes. When I had Panther or Tiger or whatever it was before, it would go for maybe 100-110 minutes. I have a 2.16 GHZ Dual Core chip. Just bought it in Jan/Feb 2007. Anyone else seeing worse battery life with Leopard?

haven't taken my MB on the road much since the upgrade to leopard but logically I can see there may be a dip in performance since it is a more process intensive OS due to things like spaces which will require more CPU time along with things like time machine and higher graphics, I guess it's to be expected although that much of a dip is a bit off like :(

Anyone else have some stories about Leopard on their old laptop?
