I got my new MBA today and wanted to run a battery cycle so I started a movie on Netflix and headed to the gym.
First, a few things I noticed. With the battery fully charged, keyboard light off and screen brightness at 25% and no applications open, it said I had just over 10 hours of battery.
With screen brightness at 75%, keyboard light off and no apps open it said I had 7 hours of battery.
Under the same conditions I started Safari with a movie from netflix and the battery immediately said less than 2 hours. Then the scary fan noise started.
Here it is about 2 hours from when I began and the computer has powered itself off, the fan noise happened the entire 2 hours (gee, I hope that isn't bad).
a) what's up with the fan running with Netflix?
b) what's up with 2 hours battery with Netflix?
PS: I have a MBA 13, 256 SSD, i5
