I've read a few articles about the unpredictable performance of the batteries in the latest MacBook pros along with suggestions for extending battery life, but in all the conjecture I've not seen anyone point a finger at the on board battery manager.
Consumer Reports had rundowns that differed by as much as 7-8 hours. Afaik there's no background task etc that can explain that, but a bug in the battery manager firmware or a faulty ADC could easily produce such a result.
I don't have one of these laptops but I'd like to get one eventually as my Razer 14" is heavy and doesn't run a couple apps I depend on. I just can't buy one until Apple fixes this idiocy.
