>2-2.5 hours being reported under average, power conscious usage: >http://forums.macnn.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=177552 > Well I guess I haven't mentioned it here, but my LunchTrayDeluxe has pretty crappy battery life, too. I get no more than 3 hours (max) and routinely get between 2 and 2.5 hours. Throw in Airport and it gets worse - AE drops the battery on the order of 1% every minute or so. And yes, I lower my screen brightness and set the Energy Saver prefs to save juice. I always chalked it up to the huge 17-inch screen drawing so much power.
