i agree if you are just running though safari mail and finder with the
screen turned down on my old first gen macbook i got 4 hours or more
whereas now i just get 2.5
if the store say this is normal when i visit this is fine but at least
it is worth checking

Hello,
When I posted that my MacBook ran for two and a half hours on
battery, it was to say that I was impressed by how long it lasted,
considering that I was running 7 applications: Finder, Mail,
TextEdit, Safari, VisioVoice, Ical, and iTunes. I was also using a
Braille display and the screen was turned up to around 90% as I was
working with my husband on something. I think that two and a half
hours under those circumstances was excellent.
Cheers,
Anne

Hi,
Nope, I have a 2.0 Macbook and get 5:30 hours out of it without
wireless bluetooth and the screen dimmed to zero.
Thanks for listening,

hi to all
it seems that the first gen macbooks gave 4 hours or more even
with wireless and screen dimmed to 0 percent.
The newer macbooks that anne and I have plus a few others i.e.
core 2 duo 2.0 and above, have lower capacity batteries
regars will
