I think what people should be more focused on isn't how long the battery lasts in one use, but how many years the battery will last while still getting a full charge.
My Dell laptop battery used to get me about 4.5 hours (undervolted) of battery life when I used to use it in class, but now it lasts maybe 2 hours at most. I've actually had the battery die on me by leaving it in sleep mode for a day.
Sweetness! Hopefully without raising the price of said MacBook Pros...
And it's perfect timing with Snow Leopard, because Apple needs to substantially increase the performance differential between plain Jane MacBooks and MacBook Pros anyway.
Hmm, wasn't it mr. Jobs who spoke out that "Noes, quadcores eat so much battery, we shalt never put them in our lappytops!" or something along those lines?
I'm just going to wait until they come out with the Quint Core 5 P12 Arbitrary 3 Numbers 9. Seriously, how many damned numbers do we need in one chip name?
Couldnt the same be said for any other laptop manufacturer?
Why single out MacBooks when announcing this news? Why not say "Intel Quad-Core Laptop Processors Inevitably Headed to Notebooks in the Third Quarter"?
@Bob_Dole: The Phenom II chips just came out this week. [www.theinquirer.net] The Neo for mobile platforms is out. [i.gizmodo.com] They're lagging intel but not by a huge amount of time.
@SSJCrow: Dunno about Diablo 3, but Starcraft 2, damn, I've been waiting for that forever! Message to Blizzard employees: QUIT WASTING YOUR TIME ON WOW! GO BACK TO WORK!
Picture reminded me of the ">Suriname Toad. (Warning: don't click the link unless you want the rest of your day ruined as was mine when I found myself unable to resist googling this thing again after being reminded of it by that picture).

Really?
Oh yes, and see, it also doubles as a hotplate! Want some pancakes?
Um, no thanks.
Oops, I dented it already. There goes my warranty! :(

By the way... I thought AMD was the "cheaper" and "better" processor?
