[QUOTE="JMC, post: 700755, member: 62807"] One trick you can do with the LCD of the Macbook that the LED screen of the MBP might no be able to do (?), is: When you're up in the hills or something for the day, you can turn your screen brightness down to zero, and if you shine sunlight on the screen you can still read it "fairly well". This gives a massive increase on battery time, perhaps 50% extra. The screen looks green and other colours are lost, and you should keep the sun off the base so the fan doesn't turn on, but it is a way to get a 9-hour battery life from a brand new MB if all you want to do is type or read :) [/QUOTE]
