I rarely trust what they say when it comes to battery life. Sure. Take the MacBook Pro, new battery, tweak it by some senior techies, don't run anything, turn off wi-fi, and everything else, dim the screen and maybe you can get those extra hours.
But who are these manufactuters (not just Apple) fooling? Everyone knows that in all practicality expect MAYBE two-thirds of what the manufacturer says.
I know an ASUS Eee PC 1000HE is rate for 9.5 hours but you can maybe get 6 hours out of it.
It's like wal-Mart telling people they rolled back prices. Sure but in a couple of weeks they will go back to their original prices. And then it starts again with the "roll back". It's just short of fradulent.
