at moment, have vmware installed (pending ssd purchase) running linux , have noticed power indicator estimates battery life of 3 hours on full charge.
assume because amd 6770m activated when vmware running - or virtualisation applications computational intensive, irrespective of whether there gui or not?
reference, i'm using late 2011 mbp 17" stock configuration includes 7200 rpm drive 4gb of ram running lion.
in advance.
i guess both, gpu , running virtual machine, play role in sucking away battery.
can check activity monitor find out how cpu vm costs.
