The great MacBook Air battery con: 2 hours?
The average battery life of the MacBook Air falls far short of the five hours promised during Steve Jobs’ keynote address at Macworld.
That’s according to owners of the notebook on the Apple support forums, who claim to be experiencing approximately two hours of battery life, with recharge times taking a ridiculous eight-to-ten hours.
Drains even when powered off
One person commenting on the forums claims to be on his “second MacBook Air and having the same issues as before - about two hours of battery life”. Another says his “battery is draining when the MacBook Air is fully shut down (not just asleep) and unplugged”.
