| Random X 20.09.2012 | Wow, that's awesome... Nowadays on Snow Leopard I'm doing an hour and half while browsing, wifi, and watching. |
| Nedra Fresneda 19.09.2012 | I'm back to 5ish hours on my system of regular day to day use. |
| Venetta Cawyer 19.09.2012 | And is the battery-life on par with Snow Leopard? I mean, that OS gave me the best battery-life. But it's installed now and we'll see According to 10.8.1 I can watch about 3 hrs of x264 720p material before it dies on a 2010 13" MBP. I'll post tomorrow after a fun torture day for the MBP |
