I seem to be getting only around 4-5 hours battery life on my new rMBP just browsing the web, etc.

Playing games it goes down to something like 3 hours.

I installed Battery Guard and it shows battery health at about 8500 mAh (both original max and current max). Is that correct?
 
And this is with the new model? I just received mine, but have not tested the battery life as I leave mine almost always plugged in. If you have a defective battery, then you should take it in for an exchange but don't get all battery crazy.

Yes it's the new model with the dGPU. It'd be good to know what other people are experiencing and also how many mAh is "normal".
