Do you guys really get 7 hrs of usage on the MBP's battery? I don't seem to get that? I was just using it for surfing the net, checking email and watching some videos on youtube. I am on energy saver so it shouldn't use too much juice but the battery on last about 3hrs or slightly more. Is there something wrong with my MBP's battery. Just got it for 2 weeks.
Got a tip for us?

I used to get about 6-7 hrs. with Leopard on everything dimmed, brightness on the lowest settings, backlid off. Now with SL on the same settings I get about 4-5 hrs... Apple should fix this.
i dont have a 7-hour battery, ive got the pre-pro unibody macbook with the normal battery and i can achieve about 4.5 hours of normal use just browsing the net, documents etc on wifi. Sounds like you are using it heavier than what apple did when they test them. I think apple runs a loop of commands and has the brightness set to 50% and wifi on.
