New Macbook 2.0 Battery/Power Issues?

[mrpeepers]

Just got this Macbook and I really think the battery life is about 3 hours. Is that normal? My bro and uncle have the previous gen pro and that sucker must last for a 5 hour minimum.

Here's my power readings:

go download an app called coconut battery it will tell you the current battery capacity vs the original and some other important things. if you bought it used it probably has a lot of cycles on the battery. if it is new apple will give you a new battery.
