Hi all,
I was wondering if anyone has seen battery drain tests pitting the new 15" MBPs against each other. On the apple site, they claim the two models should be equal here, 5 hours (which obviously has to be taken with a grain of salt). But CNETs tests appear to have the 2.5 model getting 4:23 while the 2.4 model only gets 3:35. Has anyone seen any other tests?
The CNET test also have pretty wide margins in performance between these two models. I had pretty much been happily convinced by the review that the 2.4 was definitely a better value, and not much of a compromise in terms of performance. Now I'm not sure...
I typically deal with large image files and catalogs (Photoshop CS3 and Lightroom), not much video, and no gaming. Thanks!
