I'm quite surprised with the battery life numbers they are reporting:
- Macbook Pro Escape: 18.75 hours - Macbook Pro 13": 15.25 hours - Macbook Pro 15": 17.25 hours
I've tested both the Macbook Pro Escape and the Macbook Pro 15" and under very light work load (web, email...) I'd say they were closer to 9 and 8 hours, which, by the way, I find pretty decent considering weight and dimmensions.
I really don't know what methodolgy CR uses, but seems to me that is not very realistic.
