[QUOTE="Padawan, post: 10935, member: 273"] Apple claims a 30 minute difference between the two (5hrs vs. 4.5 hrs). The actual life and difference will obviously vary depending on a number of factors. For instance, even though Apple claims 6 hours for my iBook, I find that with my usage (full processor speed, Airport on, and HDD and screen never shutting off) I usually see around 3.5 - 4 hrs. Based on this, I wouldn't expect tremendous battery life out of a 15" PB with normal usage. [/QUOTE]
