[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1192009, member: 56379"] Just the way it goes. The new MacBook Pros are more powerful...and probably use more energy. It's sort of a "tug of war" between battery runtime & computing power. One year battery life gets longer as battery technology advances...the next year processing power advances & battery runtime is shorter. Can't have it all...all of the time (long battery runtime AND fantastic computing power)!;) If you need longer battery runtime...maybe get the previous MBP generation (prior to 2/24/11).:) - Nick [/QUOTE]
