[QUOTE="Mikey375, post: 1320651, member: 199626"] Thanks for the response! I checked Activity Monitor and it shows Firefox as using more CPU's (30ish) than iTunes (9ish). I had a hunch that iTunes would eat up battery, but I guess my more specific issue was whether it's normal that turning off iTunes or closing windows in my browser doesn't actually improve battery life; I seem pretty firmly stuck at a maximum of 2.5 hours. When I first got my laptop, I thought it was something more around 4.5, so it seems off to me that a brand new battery wouldn't have improved battery life from one that's almost three years old. Is that wrong? [/QUOTE]
