I am not "new" to Macs, but have fairly recently switched, so am still getting used to some things.
We took my MacBook in to the Apple Store Genius Bar to have a few issues checked. One being the battery. It no longer holds a charge for the 11-12 hours it used to when I first bought it.
The tech checked the battery, and he said it was at 98% health. I have seen that, too, but why, then, does it not hold a charge for long? If I'm just surfing the 'Net, shouldn't it hold the charge for longer than 4-5 hours? When I first bought it, I could surf, play an online game, and have some Adobe softwares open, and it would last about 8 hours. Now, just surfing the 'Net today, I have to recharge the battery after 4 hours.
We did uninstall Kaspersky, because the tech was totally against (my college IT instructor suggested Kaspersky, even for Mac.), and did a disk repair on a few things. I was expecting more battery life than I'm getting.
What am I doing wrong?
