MacBook & Bluetooth

Av8 · 29 May 2008 at 20:36

Hi All,

I've noticed my MacBook has had the Bluetooth switched on for a while since i bought this, now i've just turned this off.

Question is, does the Bluetooth cause faster loss of battery power if left on?

I know wi-fi will cause battery to de-crease power wise quicker, so i'm now guessing it'll be the same for Bluetooth.

Anyone care to tell me if this is true please?

Cheers

Yes, but compared to wifi, harddisks and the honking great big screen the effect is pretty minimal :-)

It's worth a couple of minutes. When your battery lasts about 45 minutes then it all counts!
