I'd be surprised if that's what happened. I suspect this is just another unrealistic number that's the same proportion of reality as the previous numbers.
That said, when I'm traveling and going for extended battery life (read: trans-atlantic flights) I get pretty close to the rated number by dimming my backlight and shutting off wifi and bluetooth.

- kenjackson 16y agoDuring transitions like this it would be nice to give both numbers on the new and old machines. This at least gives people some type of comparison point.
- nevinera 16y agoWhile that would be nice for the techie crowd, it would read to the typical user like "we were lying before, sorry about that". Not very feasible.
