[QUOTE="imfromwales, post: 1653903, member: 299959"] I just did a very crude and fast experiment. I played the same 57min episode of dexter, with full brightness and full volume (out of Mac speakers), with no other programs running. With the highest resolution (1680x1050), the battery dropped to 78%, while on 2nd best setting (1400x900) the battery dropped to 70%! Any ideas why there is such a big difference, and why it's the opposite to what I thought the outcome would be? [/QUOTE]
