I got my 15" 1.67GHz a couple weeks ago.. it was a great deal for those who didn't consider buying a PowerBook utill recently (insurance replacement! woo!)

Everything has been super so far, none of some of the issue people have written about, however, my battery is nuts! I get half an hour with no bt, no airport, no bklit kbd, screen at lowest!

so it kept on bugging me for a few days.. and then i found out system profiler reports battery information in detail (that's kinda nifty), and my battery shows Full Charge Capacity of 490mAh

just dropped by a service provider and ordered a new battery.. anyone else see this problem? it's like the other 9/10 of my battery seems to be sleeping!

additionally, is the calibrating the battery 'within the first week' show a major difference? i did get to it within my regular usage, but jeez, they should maybe put stickers on it saying that's important to do...

anyhow..
