Hello everyone out there!

I know this topic has been discussed a lot before, but I would like to have a "definitive" final answer on the 15" AL's battery: How long does it last?

I have heard people claiming they get 4-5 hours out of their batteries. However, 3:30 is the most mine gives me, and that is with BT off (Airport on/off doesn't make much of a difference) and backlight dimmed about 3 or 4 blocks.

I have, of course and by the way, applied the battery update.

So what's your experience?
