Likewise, I've owned a huge number of mac laptops since the titanium PowerBook and I don't think I ever managed to get more than 4-5hr of real work use (adobe suite etc) I've always been confused by these 10hr claims and have never expected more than 4-5

I could get around 10 hours on my 2013 MacBook Pro doing mostly Web development in a text editor with the screen brightness set fairly low. My coworker is a writer, so he's not using Adobe CS or anything like that.

I get 10-11 hours from my 2014 13" mbp, usually running safari, mail and atom.

If you just use a laptop for ssh the battery life will be really epic.
