[QUOTE="cazabam, post: 236183, member: 17895"] Sounds like it's either a defect or configuration issue. My macbook generally runs at about 30 degrees C all over the case, so cooler than my body temperature, and I get between 4 and 6 hours out of the battery. I'd check the power mode you are using when in battery mode - if you have it set incorrectly it may be running the processor at the full 1.82GHz even when it's doing nothing and sapping the power. Not sure about the crashing - sounds weird, certainly. That sort of thing is usually indicative of defective RAM. Do you have a local apple store you can take it to? The first thing to do, really, is to insert the first installation disk, reboot and hold down D as it boots - this will start the hardware diagnostics mode. Run a thorough test (takes about 5 minutes) and see if anything shows up as dodgy. [/QUOTE]
