[QUOTE="lclev, post: 1647321, member: 307555"] Depends on the day. Somedays I have to plug it in because I have exceeded the battery life which usually makes 10-12 hours depending on how intensive the activities are. It is my only "at home" computer so if I am home, it is in use. I tend to do a lot on it in the evenings. I would guess at least 4 hours a day. I will bounce all over and am very prone to using Team Viewer to move something from work computer to my google drive to work on it at home. So how heavy depends on what I have flowing in my head that I need to do. Just to satisfy my own curiosity I will plan to keep an eye on the swap file and stress her for a few days just for fun. I will say out of all four of my macs, my MB Air is by far the smoothest running. I don't know why but she always has been. I have seen the many recommendations for at least 8gb of memory for Yosemite - which I agree is good. But I have had no issues with this on my Air and her 4GB of memory. As I said she was built on a Wednesday! Lisa [/QUOTE]
