MBP battery status.

Just did a battery drain test on my MBP.

I spent half an hour on "Better Battery Life" mode (i.e.: the 9600M GT
Graphics card was off) and after which I switched to the better
graphics mode till the laptop was screaming for power.

During this test, Wifi was on and connected, and I was browsing for
Windows 7 RC1. During the first 45 minutes, I was also playing with
Microsoft Powerpoint for Mac. So, these are "real-life conditions",
not "I'm a mad mobile gamer" results.

Results:

30 min on 9400M GT
PLUS
3 hours 13 mins on 9600M GT

Total: 3 hours 43 minutes of typical user's usage.

No peripherals connected (i.e.: no iPhone or iPod charging).


What do you think? Not bad, eh?
