    Change the brightness level, and change your power plan to 'power saver'.

    Well, you can customize your power plan; you can also try to turn off all things you don't need, such as the dvd drive, modem, etc. And also, you can try going into hibernate instead of sleep, since sleep mode uses abit of your battery.

    Probably not. I got around 5 and a half hours with wifi off, power saver, and lowest brightness settings and only using iTunes on 650.
