William,

The Apple laptop has a lifetime about double previous laptops from 2.5 hours to 5 hours. This gain is not due to batteries per se but changes in the power consumption of the electronics. The processor in the laptop is a new design with very low power consumption. Also, a lot of intelligence was put into the electronics to reduce power consumption. This is the main reason for the longer life.
