I bought my macbook air in late November 2012 as new. Now after about an hour it drops from 100 to 75 percent. Does it need to be replaced? Also when I click on the trackpad it makes a loud click sound. In the apple store the sane macbook air was quiet, is this normal?
MacBook Air, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.2)
What size MBA? 11 or 13 inch?
The battery information does not appear to indicate anything abnormal, but 25% in an hour is a lot unless you are playing Flash video, streaming Netflix movies, or similarly demanding processes. Rapid discharge is to be expected for resource-demanding tasks such as those.
At the time of your screenshot your MBA would run well over six hours on a full charge. That's normal.

Battery condition is normal.
With Mountain Lion running 4+ hours is not that bad.
Trackpad clicking noise
System Prefences > Trackpad > Point & Click
Is tap to click enabled?
Mac comes with 1year limited warranty and 90 days of free tech support from the date of purchase.

My suggestion is to take the MB Air to Apple store and have it checked out.
Best.
13 inch base model. I am just doing normal everyday use with occassionally dual booting via bootcamp with Windows 7.
Is my Macbook Air battery life normal?
