    I just got a MBP (13 cycles on battery)
    Turning off all wifi, bt, and having only Preview open, and screen brightness at 1 notch, I cannot get more than 3:45 mins of battery life.I check the activity monoti but no process is taking more than 3 % of the CPU cycles.

    Any suggestion?


    Thanks
