Anyone give me a rough idea on battery life on the previous generation C2D 2.13 128 SSD model?

Thinking of buying one

Real world use around 3-3.5hrs max.

Thanks - I thought it wasn't quite as much as advertised but that should be enough for me.

5 hours was based on real light usage like not using backlit keyboard and turning down your brightness.

I have an SSD equipped RevB MBA and I can get 3 hours out of it after two years of almost daily use with 3/4 brightness and wifi on.

Battery has 200 cycles, still says 96% health in Coconut battery.

Put it in sleep mode and it only lasts about 2 or 3 days, not very much...I have one.
