    Good news! I was a little worried about the battery life...

    I honestly thought this was old news. I feel like I saw that table ages ago for some reason.

    Does this apply to the Macbook Air as well? I tested how long my Air would run yesterday (got it Friday) and I got easily to the seven hours Apple promises and above. So with 10.8.2 I get even better battery life? :D

    My guess is HDD's don't use up a noticeable amount of power versus SSD's and we were lied to by people who said "no moving parts = better battery life"

    I wonder which is more power efficient for boot ups...I'm guessing the SSD...
