Macbook Pro Unsatisfactory Experience

Even during the very slow winter months of the year at my company, I still use my MacBook Pro an endless amount of hours each and every day throughout the week. If my friends and colleagues are not able to find me busy at work in my office or lounging leisurely on the couch in my home as I’m busy working my fingers to the bone, then they know they can generally find me sitting on a bench at one of the local parks in my neighborhood.

I have tried other batteries as well and I’m still lucky if I am able to get a mere hour and a half of usage. This fact certainly makes me wonder if the problem does not lie somewhere else other than in the battery itself. What makes it even more frustrating is how the usage time that I get seems to progressively get worse as the time goes by. Not so long ago I was able to enjoy sitting at the park for almost three hours with my WiFi and my superior graphics cards turned on. Surely this means that it could not possibly be the battery failing. I don’t know about anyone else, but the fact that the battery life that I receive has literally been cut in half is extremely aggravating to say the least. Every other feature of my MacBook delivers exactly what this well-known name brand promises to offer its users and I am very happy with how fast it is able to perform a number of different tasks that are so important to the work that I am responsible for. I would seriously like to get down to the bottom of the frustrations I am experiencing with my battery life slipping away. Is there anyone else having the same problems as I am?
