Get the video as proof!

Just bought my MBP 13" i5 yesterday. I did charge last night about 8-10 hours. For now, at the top bar, the battery duration vary from 4-7 hours in 10 minutes.
Is this normal for new MBP? Maybe need several charge cycle to make it accurate?

Maybe need several charge cycle to make it accurate? it heavily depends on what task are u doing. if not doing anything, wifi off, bluetooth off, low brightness n such, it'll display ~7 hrs. once u start to play a HD movie (example), then it'll go down

Save the money, buy AppleCare please. RAM and SSD price will go down over time. You can add that later.
I still disagree (seems like a trend) to max out new Mac during purchases. Enjoy your Mac and when you felt the needs only upgrade, that will give you more millage. Unless you are those person who change your Mac every few months.

Hi anyone, Appreciate it if somebody clarify me on the difference of Macbook US set vs Malaysia set. This is my common finding. Both are covered by international warranty (provided buy from authorized shop/trusted people) Almost same hardware/cable/accesories. Do tell me if any pro and con buying either one. P/S: Seeing some forumer sell Macbook i3 model for RM 3150. (Retail Malaysia is RM 3699). Very mouth watering Thanks

Apple's product in US is generally cheaper.
