[QUOTE="TanBrae, post: 1488774, member: 208843"] [b]re: Battery[/b] My laptop is a mid 2010 model: Processor 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, Memory 4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3, Graphics NVIDIA GeForce 320M 256 MB, Software OS X 10.8.2 (12C60). 1) I do watch some podcasts for classes, and usually have it plugged in when doing so. 2) I do have the brightness cranked up because otherwise it's too dark for me to make anything out. That shouldn't be, either, I'm sure. Could be my old eyes??? :Confused: Seems like the brightness keeps getting darker. 3) No, I [I]uninstalled[/I] Kaspersky. Or, actually, the Apple tech did upon my agreement. And, if I had done an uninstall, I would have done an actual uninstall, so I don't think that is the problem. The trash has been securely emptied, the computer has been restarted a couple times, and even if I'm just doing a basic surfing of the 'Net, the battery still isn't holding a charge for longer than about 4 hours. I did forget to ask while with the tech if originally keeping the laptop plugged in most of the time I was using it would have made an affect. I'm a graphic design student, so had multiple Adobe apps open and running, as well as sometimes having podcasts running. I'm just trying to figure out if this is a "normal" thing for this model, or if I'm doing something, inadvertently, wrong with it. [/QUOTE]
