Hi everyone,
I want to buy a MacBook and I'm hesitating between the MacBook Air 13' and the MacBook Pro Retina 13'. I'm tempted by the MacBook Pro because it has a better connectivity and a much better screen, but I'm worried about the battery life.
I'm only going to use it to write papers on LyX and browse the Internet, but I plan to use a Bluetooth mouse and tend to have a *lot* of tabs open in my browser, typically over 100. Do you have any idea how long I can expect the battery to last on a full charge with that kind of use?
I know that Apple claims about 9 hours and I've read several reviews that found something in that ballpark, but it's hard to know how it will be when it's used the way I plan to use my laptop, so I was hoping that someone who has a MacBook Pro Retina 13' and uses it roughly the way I plan to use mine could tell me how long his typically lasts on a full charge.
Thanks in advance!
