[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 935081, member: 56379"] Compare your laptop battery to an automobile. If you own an automobile, and it's supposed to get 30 mpg on the highway...that's probably when you are traveling 55-65 mph, on fairly flat terrain. Now if all of sudden you start driving your auto at 100mph...can you really expect to still get 30mpg on the highway...I think not!;) The same logic applies to your laptop. If you "drive" it conservatively...you will get close to the battery life claims Apple advertises...but if you "drive" your Macintosh "like a wild man" (like playing games, watching You-Tube for hours, having screen brightness set high, etc.)...then you will get a much shorter battery time on a full charge. Hope this helps, - Nick [/QUOTE]
