Afternoon guys. New Macbook Pro 13" user and just joined the forums. First off I want to say the information I've found here has been just fantastic. A lot of information and answers to questions in regards to me new Apple.
So with that out of the way. I just used bootcamp and installed Windows 7 on my Macbook Pro. Everything is working just fine, all updates installed for Windows and off the OSX CD as well. Wireless is working as well as sound, so no problems there. Although I do have one question.
When I am booted up into Windows 7 and look at the battery meter, it shows maybe 2 hours, or 2 hours and 10 mins of battery life left. Yet I just fully charged the laptop. Now if I boot into OSX, it will say roughly four hours, give or take. So really if I am booted into Windows 7, I am only going to get roughly two hours of battery life? Surely that can't be right. I am thinking the battery meter in Windows 7 is not right, and the laptop can last for about four hours, just like if it's booted up in OSX. Or does Windows use that much battery life and sucks out. Just curious. Thanks to anyone that knows...
