    Default Retina Macbook Pro Battery Life query

    Does anyone have one? How long does the actual battery last? Ive heard mixed reviews ranging from 7.5 to 4 hours.

    All i need to know is if it plays avi's straight with no wifi, no bluetooth..will the battery last over 8 hours? It has to be a macbook retina. I know the airs have the new haswell but they still have the same low-res screen.

    There's no way the non retina is low res .. They're 1440 x 900 and the screen is excellent quality
    the retina MacBooks take much longer to charge and have a fair bit shorter life between charges. I believe 8 hours is not achievable.
    I get 7 hours from my air 13 inch

    ^^ that's good to hear. I'll be doing a fair bit of downloading via sabnzb/ torrents. With the air having an SSD do you think it will be able to cope?

    I will never use it for video or photo editing. Just web use / YouTube / iTunes / films. No games.

    It will cope admirably. Mine is the i7 with 256 gb SSD and I have a 64gig sdxc card in permanently as extra storage
