Hey Everyone!
So, I've had my Macbook Pro since Nov 2. It's been great! I haven't had heat issues that I've noticed ( I don't have a temp program - anyone have a suggestion for one pls??) compared to my wife's macbook.
Yesterday was the first day I've done the full callibration process. I did all the steps and used it today.

I turned it on at 3:45 pm. I have been using it off and on till now at 7:10 pm.

Amount of time left on battery (20 minutes approximated)
Programs running since turned on: XTorrent ( multiple downloads in progress), Safari, iTunes( but no songs being played), Skype ( again, not online), Finder, iCal, and the dashboard.

my energy saving option is set to normal.
my brightness is at 100%

So, with my usage, is this a regular or expected amount of battery life for this notebook?

Do I need to do more callibration?

Any suggestions or comments would of course be helpful.

Thanks!
