    I'm specifically looking for a battery life comparison between the 2011 MBP i5 13 running OSX vs. Windows 7. i7 comparison would be OK too.

    There are tons of threads discusing the 15, but that doesn't let windows use the integrated graphics, just the power hungry (and much nicer) dedicated graphics card.

    Would there really be much of a difference on a 13 with only integrated graphics?

    Thanks

    Typically i get about an hour less in windows then i do in osx. There have been speculation that in windows the screen is slightly brighter then in osx that causes this. The brightness of your screen can affect you by almost 2 hours depending on the brightness so.
