Where did I see that the other day? Oh right, nowhere. Although….
When we bought our MacBook Pro last February the Apple experience was brand new to us (minus some iPod exposure). The battery lasted close to four hours on a charge and the majority of my time was spent in configuring the machine for both my setup and my wife’s preferences (those that know us are familiar with our gMail vs Yahoo! discussions). In doing so, I eventually set up two separate user profiles, and a couple of admin accounts. Soon after, I noticed that the battery life was diminishing, somewhere under the three hour mark, and eventually in the neighbourhood of two hours.
The balance of the year went by without much incident, if you don’t count the Blackberry syncing issues we had with my wife’s Pearl (see my post “Maybe now we can actually sync a Blackberry with a Mac?“). In the last few weeks, our laptop started to have random shutdowns. At first I thought it was a thermal issue, but it even happened while the Mac was sitting on a flat cool surface. This also never happened while plugged. So after some further analysis, I concluded that the shutdowns only happened when unplugged, and usually in or around the 40% charge mark.
claurin : @JohnnyCanuck The Hymus will be added to the tour schedule.
JohnnyCanuck : @claurin lol Sure but we can't leave the Hymus off of the community centre tour. Maybe we can even get @scorbett22 to sit on a bouclier
schultzter : I just had to "break up a fight" between my daughter's two feet - she insists it was not her fault but they're keeping her awake!
