    anyone mind helping me with some facts about your battery life?

    I bought a 2009/2010 MBP a couple of years ago (still have AppleCare on it) and the battery life on this machine has been absolutely atrocious. I feel like I unplug it from my desktop and sit doen on the couch and thirty to forty minutes of web surfing and i am down to 25% and i have to plug in or I will get a warning in another 10 minutes.

    Does anyone know if this is partially or fully due to Parallels?

    I ran a test about six months ago by fully charging it and turning it on (no apps running) and my recollection was that it went into deep sleep in about three hours.

    This is just major league lam-O.

    Any facts to measure this against or any way to do an actual analysis on my end?

    TIA
