A fair number of early adopters are reporting significant reductions on a number of Mac note-books. Apple is reportedly investigating the problem, which means they are taking it seriously enough to be considering a solution.<\/p>\n<p>Now power management is not something easily handled, and it may require a lot of field testing to see why these problems are happening, and what sort of solutions are needed. It&#8217;s also not the first time Apple has run into such difficulties after an OS update. Last fall, in the days after iOS 5 arrived, users of the iPhone 4 and 4S reported subpar battery life.
