No, but I'm not surprised. I usually ignore battery comparisons on sites like anandtech since they never test my own usage patterns. But at least in this case it corroborates my experiences. Though I use the smaller 13" MBP so its battery life should, in theory, be a bit better than the 15" due to a smaller screen, normally I'm happy with a laptop that lasts 50% of its claims doing what I do with it

For a comparison, my previous MBP which was a 15" was a late 2007 model and at its peak it never lasted over 2 hours with my same workload.

So Apple's doing something right with their battery tech they decided to bring in-house. Here's hoping it will be reflected in the iPad and that 10 hours of video claim will be realistic.
