[QUOTE="riverteeth, post: 624233, member: 43488"] 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 [URL="http://reviews.cnet.com/laptops/apple-macbook-pro-2008/4505-3121_7-32868776.html?tag=prod.txt.1"]4:23[/URL] while the 2.4 model only gets [URL="http://reviews.cnet.com/laptops/apple-macbook-pro-2007/4505-3121_7-32465635.html?tag=prod.txt.2"]3:35[/URL]. 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 [URL="http://www.macworld.com/article/132407/2008/03/macbookprocore2duo.html"]review [/URL]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! [/QUOTE]
