Battery Life for MBP

[ktalebian]

Hey there,

My battery life for MBP has recently been very low. When I fully charge it, its like 1.2hours. Its health however is about 84%!

What's wrong?

Thanks!

Is Bluetooth and Wireless on?
How high is your screen brightness??
Is using a new unibody MBP which vodeo card are you using?

These can all impact battery life greatly

First off, I have a late 2007 Laptop!
Second of all, yes all those are on! BUT, they were always on! I have changed nothing on my laptop! Before, I would get a good 2.5hours with everything on when the battery was fully charged!
This happened ever since I installed VMWare Fusion! (VMWare is not running right now! Even without it, I am getting 1hr max!)
