I'm from India.. but my friend in Saudi Arabia agreed to gift me a MacBook Pro. But only the old Late 2008 version (which doesn't have the new battery tech) is available there.

So, can anyone tell me how much battery backup I would get ?

Whats the differences b/n the Old & New ? (wud really appreciate)

you'll get a good 3 hours if you disable the secondary vid card.

spot on a good way to keep track of your battery is Coconut Battery
