Apple MacBook Pro 13" Battery Life Poll

Recently there has been some concern as to variation of battery lifes of the new MacBook Pro 13" from different people. Hopefully this thread will gather some useful information here.

READ THE RULES BELOW before voting or posting please!

This poll is for batter life under normal use as defined below. Vote only if:
- The battery life posted for is an actual life acheived during use, NOT an estimate
- Only for 13" MacBook Pro, NOT the unibody MacBook or plastic MacBook (obviously)
- Battery life was measured from a full charge down to when the laptop shuts off automatically
- Bluetooth was off, wifi was on, and brightness around 50-70%
- Tasks may not include any DVD/CD use. No watching online or on-hard-drive videos for more than 1hr. Music can be played throughout the entire test, and word processing / light web browsing / forums etc. is recommended. NO games, including online games.
- Preferably, you should have already gone through a few charge cycles, and let it rest on the charger overnight at least once to calibrate and break in the battery.

You should also make a post reporting your battery life using the following format, or just use this form if you don't qualify for the poll:

Battery life: [from 100% to shutdown only please, NO ESTIMATES]
CPU/HDD/RAM: [...]
Bluetooth: [%on / %off]
Wifi: [%on / %off]
Brightness: [average brightness in %]
Tasks done: [...]
Heat report: (optional)

 

Good question...
