[QUOTE="Deckyon, post: 1358278, member: 197651"] It will depend on a number of things: 1. Screen Brightness (will suck up the most battery life of any function) 2. Keyboard Backlight Brightness 3. Bluetooth Radio on 4. Wifi Radio on 5. Are you streaming video or just using local apps? 6. Are you gaming? Turn off/down the functions you dont need. My MBP 17" has lasted over 8 hours off the charger with the wifi on and in use. I had the Keyboard backlight off, the screen brightness down just below half and no Bluetooth on. At max use, I have gotten 3 hours out of it. [/QUOTE]
