99GPGTX Posted March 6, 2012 Report Share Posted March 6, 2012 MacBook Pro 15 Battery went from 5+ hours on a charge all the way down to 1 1/2 hours This computer is so ridiculously slow. Unbearably slow. Only thing I can think of is some sort of file is messing everything up, something i transfered from my Dell. I could literally use my Dell and its faster than this expensive POS. If anyone can enlighten me that would be awesome, please and thank you. keep in mind this brand new laptop is no more than 3 months old Quote Currently: 2015 Evo X WW Forgestar F14 18s --Rally Armour Mudflaps ETS 3.5" FMIC, CAI, Open Dump DownPipe, Test Pipe, Ultimate Racing Catback, BLEVINS TUNE, Fortune Auto 500 Coilovers Build: Crescendo Mezzos x2 Crescendo 800.4, 1500.1 Loaded Fi Q12 Second Skin Pro XS D5100 RF 360.2 Sky High Audio Wiring Need: ALTERNATOR!

Loslam Posted March 6, 2012 Report Share Posted March 6, 2012 No idea on Macs but just throwing it out there as it happens with windows laptops... By any chance did your change your battery life to high performance from power saver or something of that manner? Like I said no idea if Macs even do that but that would explain a windows laptop doing as described. Quote 1997 Chevrolet Silverado Extended Cab, 350 Vortec Things to come at some point...

GhostR1der Posted March 6, 2012 Report Share Posted March 6, 2012 (edited) I have had multiple Macs and I still drink the koolaid. If I was you I would do a complete restore. that way you have nothing on it and only move over what you MUST have. Also as its a laptop make sure to turn the bluetooth off, the backlit keyboard off, and the screen turned down. There are a bunch of tips and tricks just search around.

Maxim Posted March 6, 2012 Report Share Posted March 6, 2012 Bring it to the Genius Bar and let the Geniuses look at it. If you're managing to get 1.5 hours of battery life something is wrong other than a program running and using CPU time. Possibly a hardware issue. If you want to try and solve it yourself, I'd definitely just wipe the thing and re-install the OS fresh. Issues like this are stupid tricky to troubleshoot on Macs because they lock you out of so much. Quote wtf is lolcats? I'd def get a fat hooker if i had to resort to that kinda thing. I feel like they'd be grateful and work harder. Also its more bang for my buck, more real estate for my dollar if you catch my drift. its like the Costco of streetwalkers. I was hoping for 150 . I was hoping she would let me put it in her butt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
