How long is the Battery your Macbook Pro 15 Inch (2011)

I might get a Macbook Pro 15 Inch 2011 with the 256GB SSD and the High Resolution Screen!
How much Battery Life would I get?
1) Going on the Internet
2) Running Skype
3) Playing Flight Simulator
4) Running Word
OR just list how long your battery is on your Macbook Pro!
Thanks!!!
(Will the higher resolution display affect my battery life)?

I was saying all of those combined on the newest MBP
if you're just worried about word, depending on the version, it might not even run on the computer.
And surprising as it may be, web browsing, depending on how you browse and what plug-ins you have installed, can be a very intensive task that takes up CPU and memory.
I found a very good discussion specifically about your issue but the site is riddled with ads so just google "MBP battery life 2011" without the quotes for further information. (it's very vast)
Long story short, bring your power brick with you if you take your computer out. There are also extra battery options that are said to help you charge your computer however, the magsafe power adapter is Apple propietary hardware that no one is able to make unless it's an Apple branded product so these batteries usually have a three prong plug (depending on where you're from) to pluginto with your power brick.

    I never get less than 3 1/2 hours and generally get a bit over 4 hours on a fully charged battery. Before unplugging I make sure BlueTooth and sound is off, the backlight is set as low as I can stand it, I have no disc in the drive, and all the applications and files I intend to use are running and loaded. The three biggest juice eaters are the display's backlight, the hard drive and optical drive so I minimize the use of all three while unplugged.
    Are Mac notebooks tough? A couple quick stories: I dropped my G3 iBook off my desk and it hit the concrete floor on its corner breaking off a large piece of plastic. I fashioned a fiberglass bandage and used the computer for 3 months before finding a functional used shell. A customer came in with a horrifically bent PowerBook last summer - it fell out of his motorcycle sidebag while he was driving (35 MPH) and was run over by at least 1 car. It booted up and the display while bent by the mangled case still worked. I actually used Migration Assistent to move his stuff to the new computer. A student brought me his MacBook which he'd dropped down half a flight of stairs at the college. It had been in a lightly padded sleeve. It looked banged up - there were some fractures to the bottom case and the hinge squealed terribly as I opened it. But the computer woke up and it checked out okay. AppleCare basically replaced everything but the innards - the guy's home insurance covered all but the deductible which was a good thing - that is an expensive repair! Would the typical PC survive these accidents? Well, I know from experience the cheap plastic Dell and HP models wouldn't.

  • HT4623 Hi!My iPAD lost its charge fast !!I've got an iPAD capacity 57,1GB and it has available 55,1GB ,version 7.0.4 .I'd like to know how long does the battery last when it is 100 % charged.

    Hi!I've just installed the iOS 7.0.4 operating system and the battery lost its charge at an incredibly speed.I'd like to know how long does the battery last if everything is right when it has 100% charge.Thanks!

    I`m `propping` up this thread to to the top of the forums again as it`s been three months and not a single community member or Apple support personnel have replied, which I find discouraging.
    I`ve tried everything - both the iOS device(s) and Apple TV have been upgraded (albeit reluctantly) to the latest versions, since iOS 7 looks like crap compared to iOS 6. Both use the same WiFi network. Bluetooth is set to `off`, as per the online tutorials on the Apple Support page.
    I also tried shutting all of them down, including the router, waiting 30 seconds and turning the router, then the Apple TV then the iOS device on sequentially with 30 seconds in between each, again as per this discussion forum, and still nothing.
    Why can Apple not make a technology, such as AirPlay, work with greater than 10%?
    Any other ideas?
    Come on, people.
    Thanks,
    Doug

    how long is the battery holds?
    and how long it takes to charge?
    how many volt is the battery have?

    It depends on the device you put the batteries in and how much use  it gets.
    With these batteries my mouse goes for a month, my trackpad about 2 weeks.  (I use the trackpad more then the mouse).  Keyboard goes about a month as well.
    The batteries charge in about 2-3 hours.
    1.2 Volts.

  • MacBook Pro-How long should the battery last?

    Hi there i just recently got a MacBook Pro a month ago this is my first laptop and i was wondering how long the batery is ment to last for befroe going flat? my macbook is the most recent 13 inch one and its battery only tends to last 6 or 7 hours before i need to charge it again, just wondering if this is normal?

    I have the same MacBook Pro, and "eww" is absolutely right. 6-7 hours is what you will get under normal use. Now if you want to see the battery reach 10 hours, dim the screen to 6% and just do nothing. Just kidding, but you get the point.

  • HT3053 How to remove or install the battery in MacBook Pro (15-inch, Early 2011):

    My 2011 Macbook Pro needs the battery Serviced, I know that means replaced, what can I expect to pay for this service?

    As to your other questions that is really up to you.
    Good Luck & Best Wishes.

  • How long should the battery last while surfing the web?

    I'm curious to know how long the battery on my Macbook should last when just surfing the web and downloading music and videos. I'm getting about 3 hours, I have a feeling it should be a lot longer. I don't have the brightness all the way up and I dim the illuminated keys.

    It really depends on your configuration and what you are doing on the web.
    If you have minimum RAM, the HDD will be accessed more often, causing heat which causes the fan to come on more often, which uses up power.
    While I watch youtube and other forms of streaming video, my fans are usually on, so my battery life is less.
    While cruising these boards and such, my battery lasts twice as long as streaming.
    3 hrs while downloading music and videos is not a bad figure.
    What you might want to do is watch a 2 hour movie and document the amount of time you get from the battery.
    Do the same while streaming a movie.
    Do some typing and or general surfing sans streaming type stuff.
    The above spans a different range of CPU and graphics usage.
    Then post back your times here. You will get a better indication of battery condition.
    Also, post back with how much RAM you have.

  • How long should the battery realistically last?

    i bought a 13'' macbook pro about three weeks ago. the battery is supposed to last about 7 hours (depending on usage and the such) but i feel that it isnt lasting more than three, and thats with only web surfing. is there a solution to help it last longer? and i also tend to leave my laptop plugged in, sometimes for hours after its fully charged. is this a bad thing?

    you can leave your macbook plugged in all the time if you wish.  it will not harm your battery since it will stop charging once it's fully charged.
    once in a while however, do use your macbook under it's own power and plug it back in when it's down to 80% to keep the battery in optimal condition.
    now, disable your automatic brightness.  turn off your bluetooth if you're not using it.  turn off yourr remote control receiver if you're not using a remote.
    check your login items to see what's loading at startup and delete them if you don't need it.
    see what's using up most of your cpu's resources in activity monitor - all processes.  highlight the ones using the highest % CPU and hit quit process.
    see if the above tips give's you at least 5 hours of battery life.
    if you feel that your battery isn't lasting long after you've done the above, you can always take it back to apple and have them check your battery or have it replaced since you're under warranty.
    good luck..

  • HT3371 how to replace internal battery in Macbook Pro 17"

    My 17" went dead while sitting in a warehouse waiting for a residence. Grrr.

    You can only replace the battery yourself on a 2008 or older MacBook Pro. If you do it in a newer computer, you will void the warranty.
    If you have a 2008 or older computer, buy the battery at the Apple Online Store > http://store.apple.com/us/product/MA348LL/A/rechargeable-battery-15-inch-macbook -pro?fnode=5a Then, install it > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3053
    If you have a newer computer, you have to look in iFixit for the steps to replace your battery > http://www.ifixit.com
