Nooo... Apple says it lasts 8-9 hours when...



=You are wrong............=You are right.............You didn't include



What 13" do you have? My new 2010 one lasts 11 hours with 50% brightness, Bluetooth OFF, WiFi ON, Internet, and Typing

Late 2009 13" MacBook Pro. Mine lasts 6 hours with brightness at full, keyboard at full, wifi on, bluetooth on. Multitasking is 5+ tabs in Firefox, iTunes playing music and some a couple of Pages documents open. I don't really care much about battery power lasting longer than 5 or 6 hours. Thats why I don't use the energy saving features

I can get 8 hours if I turn the screen brightness down to 1. But I don't

I got mine on 14/May i have been using alot. youtube, video and abit of photoshops and afew stuff.

First got it it has 6cycles battery. and only giving 94% capacity. i have done so far 3 good battery calibration. i can see the battery improve from there. now i have 100% and more use time..

Right now i surf and just finish some words and emailing some friends. and itunes (alway on). screen on 50%, wireless on, keyboard is off (automatic). everything else run just as usual.

Where do you guys mainly use your computers? Is it at places where you can't charge? Because I only use mine for a 2 or 3 hours at a time, and whenever I'm not using it its on the charger, so it never has to be on when I'm using it
