BATTERY LIFE WITH MACBOOK PRO/LOGIC

wondering who is using a Macbook Pro while running Logic?

i posted in an Apple Forum a few days ago, and some people have said that they can get up to 4 hours of life from their battery. i just bought my machine in January, so i find it hard to believe that my battery could need replacing already?

if im using this computer strictly for Logic and audio production, can anyone recommend which battery setting in my preferences i should select?

Mac OS X (10.5.2)

With battery life, you either optimise for time (low performance), or high performance (less time).

Logic is a performance based app, and so if you are using plugins and so on, you are working your CPU hard and therefore going to run the battery down quicker.

Really, for Logic, I really recommend running on the power supply for the most part.
