C chkenwing macrumors regular Jan 27, 2010 130 10 Jun 6, 2010 #3 The claimed battery life usually are under extreme circumstances. Usually just a marketing ploy to sell. 8 hours is pretty good if you ask me, considering what you're doing with it.

A aigoya macrumors member May 18, 2010 46 0 Jun 6, 2010 #4 Same, I'm hitting about 6-8 hours under 'normal' usage. I can't really complain though, it's pretty good for me. I once took it to work w/out the charger, and using vmware, flash, ppt, excel, it lasted me at least 5 hours.
