Macbook Pro battery life.

Is it just me or does the advertised battery life of a 17" Macbook Pro SUCK?
Brand new machine, the apple claim a wonderful battery life of over 5 hours (in fact I'm pretty sure they claim more than that) mine is lucky to last 2 hours. I thought that was ok given that I use mostly processor intensive programs, but I noticed the other night that it still died in 2 hours and 15 minutes while I was just doing emails.
Nice bit of kit, but why the deception? When Canon and Nikon make a big deal out of battery life on their DSLR's you get much better life than the previous model. Apparently a concept that escapes the little silver apple.
