Hello, yes I'm a little disappointed with the battery on my new 4S but by god i'm really upset about what's going on with my Macbook.

100% charge two hrs ago - its not done one thing in that time and now it's down to 6% !!

What is going on behind the scenes??

Is wi-fi sync doing this? Notifications?? :eek::eek:

Anyone else having laptop battery problems??

Thanks

Open activity monitor in Applications > Utilities, then click the CPU column. You should be able to see any rogue processes using excess CPU time.

I'm seeing no difference in my MBP battery life since the upgrade (I've got the4 and my wife has a 4S). This also includes the fact that I've been syncing my phone like crazy over the past couple of days because I was trouble shooting a problem with my photo library. It still gets ~8 hours before I need to charge it.
