i'd like to know how the battery in the 15" al is doing. i've read through dozens and dozens of threads but none of them seem to give a clear answer. some people reported over 3 hours while others complained about it being barely 2 hours.
i'd like to clear this up and see a real statistic. so please vote.
it would also be nice if you can give some info on your use. your screen brightness, Airport and BT activity, the kind of work you do, etc..
thx.

just hacking away in a terminal, or XCode, I get more than 3 hours, never pushed it. Usually plug it in at 20% (this is after 3 hours). Screen turned down, reduced processor.
About 2 to 2.5 ish watching a movie. Screen turned down, reduced processor.

That's pretty impressive. . . I am just like that but I guess my battery is messed up and I only get about 1.5 to 2. Programs running, Safari, Mail, Adium, and Word.
