Just wondering if any comparisons were out there. I'm hoping the new stayed the same or even has a minor improvement.

The claimed 4.5 hours is the same--I wish I had one to test personally

The faster CPU would draw more power--except the new G4 is supposed to be more efficient. The same goes for the new graphics board I believe.

Maybe with the faster CPU/GPU you could run longer than before, simply because you wouldn't mind using low-power modes as much?
