anyone know y my macbook pro battery drained so fast... especially when i watching dvd and streaming video on internet...?
mostly if i got 100 percent battery life... and when i watching movie on my macbook.. the battery will drained in about 2 hours...
MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.7.2)
same here.
its not unusual. when u r waching movies, the cpu, display and gpu uses more power then usual. same with vdo streaming. dont expect to last the battery longer.
so do u think is it okay if i keep watching movie on my macbook? will my macbook battery gone faster? i purchased this one just 1 months ago...
the battery life is determined by the number of (full) charge and discharge cycle. so the faster u finish the number, the less time ur battery lives.
its better to watch movies while ur laptop is plugged in a power outlet.
Yes, it is OK to watch video. Plug the AC adapter in if possible when doing so.
can i know which one is power outlet. and which one is ac adapter? lol...
and do anyone knows how to check battery life? thanks
haha...... just in case anyone is still confused.......... power outlet is the port in ur wall which lets u enter a plug and gives power (electricity). its also called socket. and ac adapter is the big white 'plug' of ur mbp.
battery indicator is on the upper right corner of ur screen (shows a battery sign). it shows the remaining battery power in residual time or percentage, as u like.
u can also check the battery by pressing a small white round button on the left side of the mbp. it shows the battery by 8 indicator lights, where lighting 8 of them means full battery and blinking 1 means almost no battery. u can check it anytime, even the laptop is switched off.
battery drain so fast
