[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 1525773"] Turn down screen brightness, that's the biggest battery killer. Also, unlike Windows, the red X does NOT close the application, it just pushes it into the background still running. That's handy most of the time so you can get something started that is going to take a while, then move on to other stuff while it's finishing. To adjust brightness, either use the F1/F2 keys or go to System Preferences (the icon of gears in the Dock), then Displays and use the slider to set brightness. To see what's running, Finder/Applications/Utilities/Activity Monitor will show what's taking up CPU and Memory. [/QUOTE]
