Received the new 17" Macbook Pro last monday and after 3 days using the laptop, I am certain that Apple got this one wrong. The longest I have gotten on a full charge of continuous use is about 3 hours. Yes that's right, THREE HOURS on a laptop with an internal battery!!
I love my Apple products(2 pro's, 2 iphones, 3 ipods) but this is nuts. I can't believe they touted this technology as the 'next' thing.
More importantly, what am I going to do with this thing. My old 17" Macbook Pro got over 2.5 hours with a good battery and I had 2 spares for it. Am I really stuck with a 4 day old laptop that I wish I hadn't purchased.

buyer's remorse with Apple??!!
