Earlier today my girlfriend wanted to charge her Powerbook over at my place, so I handed her my charger cord and she plugged it in. I used my Powerbook for about an hour on battery. Then she wanted to watch a movie, so I put it to sleep and we went to the rental store and got a movie. I used my Powerbook during most of the movie, which was two hours long, on battery. I come back into my room, and thus far I have been using it another hour and a half...coming up on 2 hours. That's 5 1/2 hours so far! I'm TRYING to get the battery to die, so that I can fully recharge it again, per the manual's instructions, but the darn thing just keeps on going! I fired up two movies in Quicktime and turned on wireless AND bluetooth just to speed up the draining process.
Anybody else getting absurdly long battery lives out of their new Powerbooks?
Woot! It says 11 minutes left...I can almost go to bed now.
