Hi guys. Thanks for reading this. I've got a few questions regarding the new 13" MBP that I hope you'll definitely be able to answer. I've searched through the forums but didn't really find a to-the-point answer.
1. I've been using the 2008 Aluminum Macbook for quite sometime now and with 30%-40% screen brightness and Xampp, Photoshop, firefox, a text editor running (No airport or bluetooth, I use a USB modem stick), I get about 3.30 hours of battery life. Now, my question is, (I'd prefer some answers from guys in the Graphics/web design field) how much battery life can I expect from 13" Macbook pro at the above setting and with the same programs running?
*Please don't point me to any other thread unless it answers the exact same question.
2. On my Alu macbook, when I'm running the same applications mentioned above at the same settings, my temp NEVER goes up to 62C, I mean ike NEVER, it always stays around 60C, now, if I was on a 13" MBP, what's the heat's going to be like? I know MBP's been known for heating a little more because of the spec bump but I really need to know if it's going to stay below 70C if I was running the same programs. Heat is really important for me. My Alu macbook feels really comfy at 60C on my lap and I never have to move it to give my lap a rest or breeze. I've been planning on upgrading to 13" MBP because of the battery life but I really need to make sure the temps remains comfortable. Please answer this question from your experience with precise numbers if possible.
Thanks again for reading.
