[QUOTE="Smell The Glove, post: 371797, member: 26697"] I can't say for sure, but my guess would be the 15" battery will last slightly longer - because of that extra screen space that's being lit up on the 17" MBP. For the record, I just calibrated my brand new MBP battery the other day and with a DVD playing constantly, the battery lasted for about 2:40. Not fantastic, but not bad at all considering it was constantly working the SuperDrive. If you get a peripheral that uses FireWire instead of USB, that might open up a USB port for you with just the 15". You'd still have an extra one with the 17", but you can always use a hub if you really need it. There are plenty that don't take up all that much space and if you're creative, you can work out a little something to mount it on a wall by the desk, side of the desk, etc. to save the desk space. If you don't need to haul the 17" MBP around with you to classes, you might be just happy and fine with that one after all. [/QUOTE]
