I loved my macbookbut really want a pro, but not to sure, I have had the powerbooks and the battery always needed a charge, it seemed it was alwas charging, my question is how long is the New Macbook pros.....or should I buy anothe macbook>>>>>ughhhhh help
 
Others would agree that before the whole Intel transition, battery life was at its best with apple. I have a 2.0 MBP, and I get around 2:30-3:00 hours of battery. I bought my gf a 2.0 MB, and she gets around 3:20-3:50 hours of battery. I guess its less for me because of the bigger screen, but then again battery always depends on whether your BT is turned on, AP, brightness, etc.
 
Yea the apple store guys just told me the life is the same for the new macbook pro and macbook.....
 
I get an hour and a half from my battery (87% original capacity).

It's ace.

That's enough time to do practically nothing.
