But, seriously, what do you base this statement on?

Here is a quote from a cnet review of the 17" Mac Book Pro:

"...With the GeForce 9600M GPU turned on, we got 4 hours and 14 minutes on our video playback battery drain test, which is very impressive for a desktop replacement. Switching the 9600M off added about 30 minutes."

Now, this a SEVENTEEN inch laptop, which can run video in a real-world test, for almost 5 hours! Not too shabby, in my book.
It doesn't take much CPU to run a video. So what are their power settings for this test?
