If you are not getting the battery life that you expect out of your MacBook Air or MacBook Pro, this tip is for you. OS X now enables you to quickly and easily see which apps are draining your battery.
Click on the battery icon, and after a moment, it will display which apps are using significant energy (as shown at right). If your expected usage exceeds the battery life remaining, you can quit the app, finish the process, close the browser tab that’s hogging resources, etc.
Interesting that your illustration says Google Chrome. That’s what mine says as well. Any reason to think Chrome uses more battery than any other browser?
Lee, I think that on my end, it’s because most of what I do on my MacBook Air is done online via Chrome. Between Rocket Matter, Gmail, etc., there isn’t much that I don’t do via Chrome.
