How to make my laptop last a long airplane ride?
I have a Macbook Pro 15" with OSX 10.6.7 (if that matters haha) Anyway, my mom, dad, brother, uncle, cousin (and his wife) are going out to Yosemite park this summer. We're meeting up with my other uncle, aunt and other cousin there. We are flying out of Indianapolis International Airport and flying into San Fransisco International. I know it's a few hours but approximately how long is that flight and how can I make my laptop last that long? I have like 3 movies on my laptop, but I didn't know if it will last through 3 movies. I was going to put it on the least brightness and try to make the energy saving settings so it lasts longer, but are there any tips you use on long trips? I'm assuming it's about 6 hours, that's how long it took for us to fly from Chicago to there once.

i have these same problems. Alright heres what you do. 1. dim the brightness (it helps alot) 2. don't use the speakers use headphones and don't have it up really loud. 3. watch movies (that is probably the least battery consumer you could use on a laptop.) 4.close unnecessary things or programs such as skype g talk java and things like that) 5.log off about after every movie and give it about 10 minutes to rest (NOTE: do not shut down log off!!) 6. do not have a blanket or something under the laptop just have your logs nothing do block the fan opening. 7. if you can log in as a guest so that you wont have all of your files and stuff burning up the battery. trust me it helps.
