13" 2010 MacBook Pro Windows 7 Battery Life

[The $ Vance]

For my college work I need a laptop whose battery life can sustain for larger time. U have heard about 13" 2010 Mac Book Pro but I have not done much research with it about its battery. Can anyone tell me how much would be the life of the battery if I will be using Windows 7 on it? I tried to search for the answer all over the web but could not find satisfied answer. Thanks for your help in advance.

Well, I do not know if the following answer is going to help you in any way as I do not know what exactly you need. When I am browsing the Internet in the Mac OS using Wi-Fi, the battery life that I can see is about 5 hours with medium brightness. When I use Windows 7, I get about 4 hours of battery life. Hope that this helped you.

Why are you not using Windows laptop? You should buy Mac only when you need it at the most. You should not buy them just because they are pretty.

Battery is really going to drain, if Windows 7 is used. Also there are little quirks with the keyboard back-light and track pad functionality that people eventually get frustrated with while running Windows.

I recently bought this laptop Mac Book Pro 13 inch. When I bought this I was very much under the impression that the battery life would be around 10 hours. I was happy with this. When I started to use the lap the battery does not last more than 7 hours. Is there anything that someone can help me in this? Thanks.

I was also under the same impression. I then concluded that the life of the battery depends on the things that are being done on the laptop. It will not always last for 10 hours. It totally depends on the brightness of the screen and the programs that you are running on the system. It is all after you how you al l are using the system. If you are running programs that use up more resources then the battery life is going to suffer.
