[QUOTE="poopieboy, post: 916899, member: 116678"] The readings are based on what you are doing right at the moment. Therefore, a reading of 7:33 would only be completely accurate if you kept running the macbook at the same brightness using the same exact application (no more no less) and having that application run the same exact process for the next 7 hours and 33 minutes. Any fluctuations in overall power usage, ram usage and cpu usage are going to cause fluctuations in your battery usage. I don't really time my use either, but I know I have never gotten over 7 hours of straight usage with my mbp with normal use. Either way, I think we can both agree that the battery life is great!
