Sep 29, 2015 11:08 AM in response to dewhuroby dewhuro,Thanks for your replies.
I think I've sorted part of the problem - I had a look on the activity monitor and when I got it to show all processes, saw that there were two instances of Safari web content which were each having an energy impact of 100ish so had a look online where it suggested that I change safari to open to a blank page when I open a new tab, rather than top sites. This seems to have worked now and the battery life is significantly better, and I don't hear the fans at all.
The only thing that still puzzles me is the energy for WindowServer. It is often over an energy impact of 20 - is this normal, or is there a way I can reduce it?
Cheers again!
