After several (longish), but non- intensive sessions, I thought it best to charge up while I type (this is my 4th session, having only taken the plunge yesterday!). However, after removing the magsafe to check how much battery was left, I was dumfounded to realise I had 8.00 hours left!. And this is with 30 minutes still to go! Is this a common occurrence? In all my years of laptop usage, I have never come across such a long battery life...

No complaint, just wondering if i was special is all...

Has everyone else had a similar experience, and is it just me being a total n00b, or is my battery really *dramatic music* SUPER CELL!!!

it's probably an incorrect estimate. fire up a few programmes, watch a video, and you'll see that counter fall faster than an an skydiving elephant that'd forgotten it's parachute.
