    Apple suggests that the MBP can go for 7 or so hours on Wifi. I was thinking I would test this by running DVDs and seeing how long the battery lasts (it's much more convenient than using the internet for 7 hours).

    Would this be an accurate way to test battery life? Do DVDs consume pretty much the same battery as Wifi use?
