The only issue I have with the 5510 is they keyboard. Compared to my 2011 MBAir, this thing is really sub-par.
There is a lot of trackpad jitter as well - which is easy to disable when a mouse is plugged in, but still.
edit: the camera is also in a stupid place.

The 13" rMBP gets 12 hours on the same test: http://www.laptopmag.com/articles/all-day-strong-longest-las....
I don't feel like I'm being unreasonably picky here. I've been using a laptop with a great display and 8-9 hours of actual battery life for the last two years. Everything on the market right now (including probably the new MBP) is a downgrade from that.
