    What the heck? I just noticed it this morning but I don't want to let this turn into a huge issue. It still says I have about 4hrs and 37 minutes of use (screen on fairly low, WIFI and bluetooth in use). Is there a known issue that I should be aware of, or is my battery just screwed?

    Are you charging the battery while the unit is on or is the unit off during the charge process? Leaving the system on may cause the system to not fully charge a battery or just take a very long while for it to get to max. Try charging it when the system is off, when the light hits yellow/green (full charge), turn the unit on and check. It should be 99% or even 100% (.1% below 100% should make it report 99%).
