What kind of battery life are 2011 13 inch MacBook Pro users getting?

[TSE]

Title says it all. I'm curious and going to decide between the 13 inch MacBook Pro or the 11 inch Air once it's updated.

2011 13" MBP - I'm getting about 6 hours-ish

6-8 with the brightness down to about half and not watching Flash videos

im getting a good like 6 hours with brightness on full and with keyboard backlights on full while playing starcraft 2, the battery on this machine is insane!

About 6-8 hours with screen at 1/2 -3/4 brightness. I think the battery life is pretty damn good compared with my previous PC laptop. In fact there's not much to complain about at all so far

6 i guess. it seems to last pretty long.

i am not sure i see the 13" mbp and 11" mba in the same category, though. i suppose the 13" mbp and mba make more sense in a comparison. rather than battery life, i'd be looking at performance (what are you going to do with it), price, weight, speed, etc.

6-8 hours. Pretty happy with that.

Browsing the web on 3/4 brightness gives me 5-7 hours without flash.

Flash/gaming/or a bit of photo editing gives me 3-5 hours.

I'm consistently between 7-9 hours. I do a pretty even amount of web browsing, email, document writing in Pages, Keynote presentations & prep, photo editing in Gimp. I'm very pleased.

6-7hrs with bluetooth off, wifi on and brightness at 4-5; doing basic browsing/word processing.
8-9hrs with wifi & bluetooth off, 4-5 brightness; doing basic productivity tasks.
