Hello,
I notice that my battery doesn't last the 7 hours like Apple advertises. I know that 7 hours is a base point and that the battery will most likely be less than that but my battery doesn't even get to 4 hours most of the time.
I also notice that my Macbook Pro gets really hot. If I use it on my laps, I usually put a book or something so that the computer is not touching me (and keep my heat from hindering its cooling).
As a side note, I keep the screen brightness at less than 50%. I try to stay in a cool area when I use it because hot computers make me uncomfortable (lol). And I usually go online (facebook, email, googling stuff) or look through my pictures. I'm still 'moving in', so I'm trying to tag people's faces using iPhoto. Considering these things, should I expect more out of my Mac's battery or is something wrong?
