Hey guys,

Any owners of the i7 MBP 17" could give me a an estimate on the battery life? I'm using a C2D 3.06 with an SSD and was wondering how much more battery life do the new i7 have? Many thanks! 😀
 
i never really drained it, but the estamated time on mine is about 6/7 hours...
Normal web surfing etc. ( i have BT/wireless ON, screen is fairly bright)
 
7-8 here

regular use web/email 7-8 graphics work 4-5 I'm very happy with it I even watched a 3hr movie on it once and still worked on it after for about 3hr before I had to plug it in when it showed about 30min left.

Not very taxing stuff, web surfing and reading, though not flash sites. But once I did a severe test where I did nothing but watch and convert videos (multiple windows of each) the entire time. Got 4 hours that way.
