[QUOTE="Offside, post: 1000803, member: 144256"] Hi Folks - I am strongly considering a MBP 15 in the near future. This would be my first laptop purchase and first leap into the world of Mac's as well, and I've enjoyed reading these forums as a method of consumer research. I too was wondering about the battery life as far as the "7 hours" goes, and in particular whether or not the various models of the MBP 15 made a difference. I realize having the 256/512 MB video option would decrease battery life if using it for a game or whatever. But for general travel use (web/e-mail/DVD), does anyone find a difference in battery life by simply having that video card (I assume there are options to control whether it kicks-in or not)? In general - would you say the MBP battery life would surpass a comparable PC laptop (my minimal experience has always been about a 3 hour maximum on battery life in most cases)? [/QUOTE]
