Macbook Pro retina 13 512gb battery life?
Hi everyone,
I just purchased a macbook pro retina 13 wih 512gb that came with OS X Mavericks. i noticed that my battery life is about 5 hours?? i've read multiple threads regarding this issue, but not sure if anyone with the 512gb rMBP is experiencing this same issue as me? I have only been using it to browse the internet and listen to music. I noticed that when my laptop went into sleep mode for about 5 mins, kernal_task was over 100% upon wake up. I did a system restart and kernal_task went down. does anyone have any suggestions on anything i can do to improve my battery life? i am new to mac and bought this laptop hoping to get really good battery life like it was advertised... 5 hours is not worth over $1800 :/
please help or any advice would be appreciated! thank you!
