MacBook Air Battery Problems
23Feb2008 Filed under: MacBook Complaints Author: BrianB
The problem is, the MBA battery does not deliver what Apple said it should, that is, five hours of moderate usage with the WiFi turned on. In the Apple support forums, new MacBook Air users are complaining that MBA battery gives them only 2 hours, if at all. There are also reports that the MBA battery takes 10 hours to fully recharge. Say what! I think we’ve posted about this somewhere but due to expert reviewers, we gave Apple the benefit of the doubt and began buying one ultra-expensive ultra-portable MacBook Air. Apparently, real life use for many MacBook Air owners do not support the results of expert testing.

My early christmas present was a macbook air, it’s the best laptop I have ever owned, seen, or experienced. I have it dual booting with mac, or windows vista, it kicks butt. The only problem, is that i use a verizon wireless usb air card to browse the web while im on the road using the verizon cell phone towers anywhere in the US. I need this for my job. So what’s the problem? It uses the usb power to function, so if you thought that the 2 hour battery issue is bad enough, I can only get about 1 and a half hours of internet use before the battery completely dies on me. It’s like owning a lamborghini diablo with all the bells and whistles and only being able to fill the gas tank with 3 gallons of gas at a time. RIDICULOUS. Everytime the battery completely runs out, I feel like I died a little inside. It’s like owning the delorian from back to the future with the flux capacitor at no power. I’m so sad, that I want to cry.
