Wait, I'm missing something. First the 17" 2010 isn't represented. I assume they just bulked it in with the 15" 2010. So in that case, assuming the bars are minutes:

491 minutes / 60 minutes = 8.18 hours which is spot on with what Apple claimed under "light web browsing" situations, and close to what I get.

348 minutes / 60 minutes = 5.8 hours for flash web browsing, close enough to what I get.

174 minutes / 60 minutes = 2.9 hours for multitasking. This is where I beg to differ. I can run VMWare, downloads, Firefox, and Entourage and still get 4 hours. I've done it. I don't know where they based this benchmark from...but it's inaccurate. Conversely, my coworker who has the 2010 13" is down to 3 hours just running VMWare and Firefox. Now the one difference between us is that I have a SSD and he is still using the 5400 RPM.
