Hi guys

Any of you who got the late 2013 retina macbook pro 13 inch, with i7 processor and 16gb ram. How long does it run on battery?

Thanks :) and have a nice weekend!
 
Since it has a higher turbo boost frequency, the battery life will be less. This article compares the i5 and i7 on a MacBook Air:

Under heavy load yes, but normal light load you won't see much of a difference. But still very close on heavy load!!
I do amazing time on mine doing light work. 7-9 hours on about 70% brightness while browsing using either firefox or safari and have mail, pages and a few low memory app opened.
