Q: Battery life
What is the average battery life on Macbook 12" when using Microsoft Word, listening Spotify in the background, and browsing news online?
I got a new Macbook 12" from BestBuy and it's battery last about 3 hours. I've been told by Apple representative that I should be getting at least 7 hours with such usage. He recommended reinstalling OS, which I did, but did not notice any improvement in battery life.
I am still within the return period and am considering returning the product to the store.
Other experiences?
Appreciate your help!
MacBook, OS X El Capitan (10.11.4)
