Not bad. I cant believe that video cuts so much power though. But thats because I have not really thought about it before.

It’s sometimes impossible to get anywhere close to manufacturer’s advertised battery life numbers. </P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.notebooks.com/2009/06/13/new-macbook-pro-battery-life-better-than-advertised/"><P>You probably won’t be able to achieve eight hours of battery life like Anand did in the real world because he limited testing to web pages that didn’t have video or flash files.  When he threw pages with flash files into the mix, battery life dropped to 6.43 hours.</P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/6031F485-5C74-440D-B758-AC301780C993/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
