Apple's achilles heel, I've read, is its battery life. Despite the current MacBook Pro ad that praises an eight-hour battery life, it has been my experience that my Apple products start to fail after four hours.
But there is virtue in the short battery life, I think. If my iPhone had a longer battery, I would be using it more frequently throughout the day on time-wasting activities. If my work Mac had an eight-hour battery, I'd probably be surfing the web for seven of those hours.
Knowing that I have to conserve energy forces me to work more efficiently. If I cannot get my daily computer work done on four hours of computer battery life, then I need to re-prioritize my time.
