[QUOTE="pika2000, post: 425893, member: 33190"] 1 major problem with the Macbook IMO is that there's no way to automatically set the brightness to a lower level when using battery power, something that is commonplace in PC laptops. So if you crank up the brightness when connected to the AC adaptor, don't forget to crank it back down when on battery power. I can notice the estimated hour left increases quite a bit when I decrease the brightness on my Macbook. With wifi and BT on, I get around 3 hours battery life. With BT off, low brightness, wifi on, speaker off, I sometimes see the estimated battery life being 5 hours. [/QUOTE]
