Tablet battery life: User raves vs. expert shrugs, who's right?

Looking at reviews for the latest Galaxy Tab, regular people online LOVE the battery, saying it lasts days. But tech sites like CNET say it's just okay, not special. I don't know who to trust for a big buy like this. Which kind of review do you find more helpful?

Honestly this happens with everything from blenders to cars. Regular folks use things in a simple way while the tech sites run all sorts of tests that drain power faster. Maybe check both but lean on user reviews if your own daily use is pretty light.

True lol, my old blender has lasted forever just making smoothies, but the box made it sound like it'd die after one fancy test cycle.

Galaxy Tab users with light daily tasks, like @rubys80 said, will find battery life great despite expert test results.
