Estimate Battery Life

[Weshzu]

I have a 13" MBP 1-2 month old.

How many hours do you think my mac book should sustain in one battery life?

By watching videos and browsing the net with 50% brightness.
Right now i'm getting 2hours and that's not even half of the 10hours.

Thanks in advanced

Watching videos on the WWW often involves Flash, which is a CPU hog, thus the lower battery life.
