I'm so like a lil' kid again after 4 long years enjoying my 12 PB 1ghz finally I got my new MBP (2.2) standard configuration and it's all good!!!!!. One question though how do you guys prolong the battery life? do you guys always plug the power cord or you use the cord whenever you need or the batt is low? my powerbook batt was long dead and I always use my power cord. Thanks guys for any infos!!!..

I use the power cord all the time, except when I'm not close enough to an outlet.

To eek out more battery life, do things like reduce brightness, and turn off wireless services (bluetooth, wifi) if you're not using them.

I also run it down till the battery is fully drained and it forces it to sleep once a month for re-calibration. Enjoy your MBPro.
