If you aren't using the screen, dimming it all the way down will do wonders for battery life.

Hello Will,

That doesn't look bad to me. When you use it away from a power source, how many apps are you running and are you running Windows? I timed my MacBook yesterday, and it ran for two and a half hours with 7 apps running, my Time Machine backup external hard drive plugged in, and my PAC Mate 20 in use the whole time. airport was also on.

Cheers,

Anne
