Sounds like your energy saver is lowering your screen brightness when running on battery power. You should be able to adjust this in the energy saver app.
and how do i do that? i also have another question. i was playing around with ichat with my friend who also has a powerbook and neither of us could hear each other when we were using it can someone tell me how to use i chat to talk to someone? sorry im new with this.

To change the settings so that the screen won't dim on battery power, go to System Preferences, click on Energy Saver go to Options and make sure the drop down list at the top says Battery. Now, uncheck Reduce The Brightness Of The Built-In Display...
By the way, the screen brightness can be manually toggled using the F1 and F2 keys. 🙂
Enjoy the new Mac, welcome to the community.
thanks but i think im gunna keep it like it is because just having it normal is draining the battery out fast so i dont want it to drain faster
