Hey all,
I recently bought a Macbook Pro 15" i7. I was just wondering what kind of battery life you guys are getting
Right now it's showing 6:12 with 93 percent
intel hd graphics, with Microsoft Word, iTunes, and Google Chrome on
 
Not getting more than that, about 5 hours is the average and it's just like Mail, Safari and bluetooth devices...

EDIT: 15" i7 as well...
 
13" MacBook Pro June '09 2.53GHz

Battery life- 5 hours of web browsing, full brightness, with bluetooth off.

Battery status:
Cycle Count: 169
 
really depends on what you use it for can range from 2-8 hours , if you want to extend ur battery life use gfxcardstatus and force on integrated its enough for most things on the macbook and gives really good battery life, then when you fire up them pro apps like photoshop etc you can turn on the nvidia chip set :)
