[QUOTE="mraya, post: 236202, member: 9710"] Your MacBook is not working as the average MacBook, first think i would think about is the RAM, either if you upgraded it yourself or at the store i beleive there is a problem wih it. The fact that you have problems with videos supports this theory. Another thing is that Apple doesn't claim the Macs to be faster than a good PC, just more reliable. New Macs using Intel are several times faster than the previous models using PowerPC chips, that's the claim. My brother's AMD 3200 with 2gb of RAM leaves my humble iBook in the dust, the difference is that mine is far more reliable, secure and all that stuff. Finally, 6hrs for the battery is the "ideal" situation. I've got more than 5hrs in a row of battery life doing basic stuff, if i recharged the battery at that point it was beacuse i didn't need battery anymore, not because it was empty. 3hrs, with heavy use seems good to me, it always depend on what you are doing.
