Just got home after letting it fully charge.... I have it running at like half brightness.. and the battery meter says 2 hours...

%%%... my old Macbook which was 2 years old lasted like 3 and a half... and that was on full brightness

 

[cragmatic]

Calibrated my battery...

Have blue tooth off...

I only have brightness 4 notches up... and still only 3 hours of battery life

so it was made 7 weeks before you bought it. doesn't mean because you bought it, it was made the day before.

how do you sync or connect your 3g connection from a google G1 phone?

i just got the new macbook yesterday. so i'm basically new to all of this.

 

[cragmatic]

This really makes no sense... my old Macbook that was 2 years old had 3.5 hours of battery... this new one with a LED screen gets 3 hours and I have thebrightness turned all the way down...

The 999 Macbook at my work today showed a battery life of 4 hours...

I'm no longer telling people the 1299 has a great Battery life

YesI'm

Still

Edit According to the Coconut thing my battery is only 4100 mAh... I see some of you have 4500 to even 5000...

 

[cragmatic]

Here is a link with information, I think you can probably go up to 4GB (2x2GB): http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1270 Newegg.com is a great place to order parts, I replaced my memory (and just bought anew HD from there), and have not had any problems with them. Hope this helps.

I know on my 06 Macbook I could only go up to 3 GBs... so he may only be able to do 3... it could fit 4... but would only utilize 3.3 GB's or something tothat effect

 

[segagenesis510]

well, it's not safari's fault. yuku was not made to be ran at full feature on safari. but, there is a way around it. simple as changing the the postingstyle.. simply pull down the navigation tab. click on settings, go to preferences at the bottom you'll see a part that says editor type, wysiwyg should beselected it. change it to bbcode and you'll see all the crap on the reply section when u save it. with forum jumping, don't know about that but atleast u got that back. i like how it is in default.. hated all the extra stuff since i dont use any of it.

[wanksta23]

after having insurance for 2 years...can you re-new it?

 

[cwrite78]

i highly doubt it

 

[cragmatic]

What do you mean at least i got forum jumping back? I do not

 

[cwrite78]

never said you did. i said at least you got your posting add-ons back

 

[halftime718]

is there a way to use imovie with downloaded movies to cut and edit, i tried but it did not let me.
If not what program can i use.

question regarding battery life.

do you guys always plug your macs in when available? or do you let it drain first and then charge? i kept my dell plugged in all the time and it #*%%*! up mybattery. i dont want this to happen again.
