The Macbooks have always gotten good battery life, three hours or so in actual use. But the new one gets five in reality, seven on paper. It's a big jump. But methinks battery life should take a backseat to price for the honorable frog princess. The screen is very clean and clear, the trackpad is aces, the wireless connectivity is superior, and the rest of it works as advertised. And you still get the LED backlight, so the brightness now is what it will be in five years.

A good deal for £729.
