[QUOTE="livinitup1, post: 935199, member: 46119"] I agree. I found that just by watching a youtube video my macbook pro's CPU jumped up to nearly 60% of usage. The video wasn't even HD. That definitely eats into the battery from what I've seen. Also, if you want to get the most out of the battery, turn off the backlit keyboard, bluetooth and airport and turn down the brightness as low as it can for you to see what you're doing. The battery lasts for a pretty long time with that. [/QUOTE]
