hey guys,
I've had my macbook for about less than a month now and i had some questions about the battery and temperature.
Battery: So far, i use my mb 97% when its not plugged in to the AC adaptor. Which means that i watch youtube, play games like WoW (on the lowest graphics setting), and use social networking sites like twitter and facebook often. I use my mb, than when it gets to about 65 %, i put it to sleep and charge it. Is that all right? because so far, i've used up 16 cycles! should i just keep it plugged in all the time when im not using is portably and as a decktop laptop, then unplug after 2-3 days? I've seen some other threads that say people keep their computers plugged in at all times and have only used like 4 cycles, and they've had it longer than me.
Temperature: when i watch youtube or play WoW on lowest possible setting(i only use one application at a time), my computer gets up to about 50* plus on the CPU Heat sink! And about 45-45 degrees on some other parts (all measured by iStat pro) Is it normal for this to be happening? how could i control the temp.?
Any help is appreciated, but i mostly want someone to adress my battery problem,
Thanks!
