[QUOTE="tariq, post: 68863"] heheh, just depends on how you use your laptop, here is how I use mine... * I use the least amount of brightness necessary (usually 1 or 2 bars) * Turn off Airport if I don't need wifi access. * A lot of people haven't mentioned this, but under Power Settings for Battery Power, I set Processor Performance to Reduced (can barely notice a speed difference) * Using Cocktail, I set my hardisk spindown time to 2min (so the hard drive is only spining and drawing excess power when required) * Monthly battery recalibration [/QUOTE]
