IMO they miss something significant:
Battery-Life on Snow Leopard.

The 17" MBP (mid-2009) i'm writing this from used to get ~2hrs more than 10.7.x ever got - and, being on 10.8.1 now, haven't yet got them back![]()
They should've also conducted a test with notifications disabled. Seems like checking for push notifications could drain the battery.
How many times was each of these tests performed? The graph shown there is meaningless without the ability to inspect the methods employed to gather the data. Do each test 10 times then graph it and I'll believe the results.
Your computer is on so there are things "running".My 2010 MBA 11 is still draining about 2-3% per minute with nothing running.![]()
What are you doing without AdBlock for your browser?I will go out on a limb. It's MacRumors that drains the battery! Before you go off half cocked, look at what Flash is doing when you load MacRumors. at one point it was using 136% of my cpu. All the ads between the articles are in Flash! If you force quit the plug-in it will extend your battery. Freakn why doesn't MacRumor require HTML 5?
I may be in the minority here but 10.8.1 has decimated battery life on my MBPr. I can literally watch the percentage go down several points per minute. I didn't see any issues with 10.8.0.
i'll just wait until 10.8.11 or so to upgrade, if ever
but good work for all you beta testers
The update absolutely killed my battery life. I have an early 2011 13inch pro and at 98% right now it says I have 3:45 min left.
