Four hours is still a very good battery life for a laptop of that
size. However, you can turn the screen brightness all the way down to
zero (off) by pressing function f1 until you hear it say zero percent...

Hey all. I am finding that when I use my Macbook on battery, I only
have about 4 hours of battery life. Checking the Better Battery Life
option under the status menu actually lessens the time. I am wondering
if there is a way to turn the monitor off. I don't need it, and I'm
going to be using the Mac in a teaching setting where it will have
confidential info on it that I don't want people seeing. Could
somebody please tell me a way to disable the monitor. I know about the
screen curtain, but that is only temporary. Thanks for the help.
