congrats on your macbook, was pretty excited about getting my mbp, used as a work machine, but goes everywhere with me

Just out of interest, anyone got the new ones with the new screens?

You mean the LED screen? If so, I have.

 

[Sherm]

Yeah that will be the one, i suspect its pretty good yeah?

 

[J1234]

Yep, the screen is great and really does improve the battery life, but some people have has problems with the screen showing a yellowish tint, but I have no problems with mine.

What's the battery life like now?

Mine came today too

Battery life seems to be fairly good - came almost fully charged and have had it on since 5pm, installed a few apps and copied music over from ipod and it's now on 37%

It generally lasts around 4-5 hours, using a bit of photoshop, browsing the web an listening to music. Pretty good imo.

The LED backlights + Santa Rosa helped boost battery performance by 17% on 15" MBPs
The 17" MBP received a 14% boost because of the Santa Rosa chip alone

Finally got round to spending a bit of time on my macbook today, install applications and messing around with it.
Loving it
