I'm getting about an hour w/ half brightness.
iStat is saying my batter is at 27% life.
I've had this laptop for about a year + 2 months. Is this norma?

Answer 1

I personally think it depends up on the charge cycles you have done. Your battery says 33 and that doesn't seem like so much for a year.
I have 14 cycles on mine. It will be year old in November. Your average mA is higer than mine. Yours is 1149, mine is 849... Your machine is pulling more power from the battery.
I'd call up apple support and tell them whats going on.
