There's a good dashboard widget, iStat pro that will monitor the health of your battery. It also monitor fans, temperatures, network, disks, memory and cpu usage. It's a free app and you can get from the main apple store. My battery health check is telling me that my batteries health is 98%, that after 250 cycles. I believe thats pretty good.
Anyway MadGamer how are you liking your new Mac.

99% after 4 cycles. I like my MacBook Pro very much. Im surprised at how cool it runs
