@Vaiban92 Calibrate your battery. Follow the procedures on their website.

I love how the Little Big Planet theme song was used for this video.

[DeathToTheseWalls]

So, for your regular use, multitasking and maybe mid-screen brightness, what kind of battery life are you looking at?

[xEpicSushix]

hah better than my pc that never let me go cable-less for more then 12 minutes :\

[Whatisright]

10 hours or not. ITs far superior to what I got out of my PC.

I don't think he really knows what he's talking about. One, the 13in MBP doesn't have nVidia 330M graphic, it has 320m (a custom chipset) and two, he's also running growl, evernote (look on the menu bar), and who knows what other daemons. A true test would be a fresh install of OS X with only textedit and safari running (as apple states they do the testing.)

[XxSSjUltimatexX]

@iTiger99 How is that a true test? People USE their Macbooks, and so I don't see a problem with having programs running ...

[iTiger99]

@XxSSjUltimatexX "....measures battery life by wirelessly browsing various websites and editing text in a word processor document with display brightness set to the middle setting." that's how apple does the test. If you are going to say that it doesn't do what Apple says it does, you have to test it they way they do. ^^^^ If he wants to call it a "real world test" then fine, but you can't say that it doesn't do what apple says, when you're not even testing it in the same way.

pinoy ka no lol

[mydanezu]

hey man nice review did you calibrate the battery ? when you did that after you buy it

you left it to reach to zero or how did you do ? can you tell me waiting for reply have a nice day

[ranjeevester1010]

bad review -_-

Apple calculates battery life with 50% brightness, wifi on, keyboard lights off, bluetooth off as well as low volume, try it and you will get 10 hours after fully charging the battery,

[fauZt2125]

dude how do you avoid the increase in cycle count?

[diplol]

@fauZt2125 by not charging the battery.

[fauZt2125]

@diplol i dont understand.

[maxaxelpro]

uu lbp music, nice xD

Does the glass contain lead.

[techdigestTV]

@signupsigma no.

[signupsigma]

@techdigestTV look at two of his desktop items. It looks like porn.

[ervinang1]

Dude get the app Jing, it lets you record videos directly from your screen so you won't have to hold a camera and make it all wobbly

[jahtalian]

I have a brand new one only a week old. I put it to sleep and went to the gym for three hours when I got back it would not wake up or start. I had to plug in the power cord just to turn it on... What gives... Also a disc got stuck in... Err

[nhoksockdk95]

So how long u did actually get on it?

[theoneborg]

@nhoksockdk95 I can get a good 6-7 hours on it

[xComptoturialx]

@theoneborg i just bought and try to track time on it came around 7 hrs

[TABUSINTACBOY]

Apples battery benchmarks are done with screen at half brightness, and you don't put the keyboard light on unless its very dark. It also only uses light web browsing and text editing, its says that on the site.

[javixm]

your battery might not be calibrated

Did you remember to disable the Infrared receiver? You go to System Preferences, click on Security, under the General tab at the bottom is an option, "Disable remote control infrared receiver." Not much, but will help add time back to that battery life. Also, do you have CoolBook? It let's you undervolt your CPU to run at the same frequency without drawing nearly as much power. It costs $10 here in the US, don't know how much it costs where ever you live, but should help significantly.
