I just purchased a 15" MacBook Pro over the weekend. I must say that I am astounded by the battery life. After years of using Dell laptop PCs at work, and getting 2 1/2 hours at best out of the battery when it is new (declines over time), I find I am getting an easy 4 hours of full time use out of the battery on the MBP. I bought two batteries, expecting that I wouldn't get more than 2 1/2 hours, so that I could use the MBP on long airplane trips. Now I am almost regretting buying the second battery - almost no need for it.
I haven't done anything special to get it to run for so long, just used the stock Energy Saver settings. I have completely cycled both batteries though, fully charging them, then running them completely flat and then full recharging them. I believe this is called "calibrating" your battery.
Amazing, simply amazing. Apple continues to astound me.
