it would help to understand what apps you run for how long or what hungry workloads you might be running.running powercfg -batteryreport is still guessing about 5:04...and things are settling down a bit so heat is hanging around 66-75 (processor 1 is 4-5 degrees cooler. ) so I suspect battery life will extend a bit over the next days but I think that 6 for me will be about what to expect. I will live with that since my sp2 was only 4 and my more recent laptops are 2.5-3. But recall I am no gamer nor do I know which end of the camera to use, so both my battery and CPU heat risks are lower than some of you.
i5 Battery Report:
Current estimate of battery life based on all observed drains since OS install
Since OS install 8:35:12
So far we can conclude that the i7 is getting on average about 5-6hrs of battery life vs 6-7hrs on the i5
If someone can be more accurate and post a screen shot of their battery report while under normal usage conditions (web browsing, word process, etc..).
Following up on my non stress testing, I ended up doing 6 hours of work and my battery is at 17%. This was mostly email, PowerPoint, and web. No heavy lifting. So I figure I could squeeze another hour or so.Started today at 830am and have been doing email and web for that last 2 hours. Screen is at 80%. My battery is down to 71%.

That's amazing! I wish I can get that kind of battery life on my i5. Is this what you are observing in real world usage? Can you post a screen shot of the battery report where it shows duration of use and battery % drain
My battery saving tip: Shut off XTU and all the other monitoring your running!
