Thanks
Apple did say it was meant to be an upgrade for the MacBook Air line. (Not Replacing)
Its got the same 12 hour battery that the Air 13" has. So you aren't loosing any power.
i know apple advertises 10 hours, but they would never say 'Hey guys, our cheaper model has better battery life. But don't buy that. Buy the one thats more expensive with less.' lol
If you are coming from a 13" Macbook Air, i would say is a very nice upgrade.
