#12> My [MacBook] Air usually lasts about 4 or 5 hours with full brightness and the wifi turned on What are you doing that depletes the battery so fast? I have a 2012 13" MacBook Air which lasts 8-9 hours. My typical use is: display set to 50% brightness, WiFi turned on, mostly using Adobe CC apps.

We had no problems, sending it through the airplane, i snuck a peek at the x-ray cause i wanted to see what the battery looked like. Just a bunch of cells.

#16Pretty cool, the other change I would suggest would be munging one of those plugs that can morph into any sort of wall plug [1] (they sell them in airport shops) so you end up with a charging cable that can plug into anything.
