I don't have much spare money, but now when I check the battery status on my MacBook it doesn't just show the remaining time (which is always alarmingly short!) but it says "Replace Now". Yikes. Can I ignore that, or do I need to replace my MacBook battery, and if so, how much does it cost??
It's a problem common to all laptop users, whether you're running a Mac or a PC: how do you get the maximum battery life out of your computer so that you can minimize the hunt for a power plug and the need to tote along a power cable? In this article, I'm going to focus on best practices for people running Windows since there are so darn many of 'em.
