If you don't use flash on osx, and go surf on say macrumors or engadget while word processing and such, you can easily pull 8:30. I know. I do it every weekday to pull off my classes =]. I thought the builtin was 8hrs advertised. Oh well, everytime I pull out the charger in the morning and am about to go to school, I check to see the battery always above 8+ hours =].

Cool! I'll mainly use it for text internet like Mac Rumours, Pages and writing for Triond. So I can get 8 hours, that's really good!
