2012 macbook air battery life.. 1.8 vs 2.0 ghz

[Radiating]

How does the battery life compare between the 1.8ghz and 2.0 ghz versions?

That issue is a little cloudy, due to the fact that Mt. Lion 10.8 and possibly 10.8.1 seemed to eat more battery, which seems to be fixed in 10.8.2.

Lets assume lion 10.8.2

I don't think the .2 bump is worth the price, but you should go and get the 8GB of RAM IMO.

Price is no object it's a work laptop I'm getting for travel and in field use to edit and manage presentations.

Battery life is a priority though, I'm getting a retina MacBook for the hardware intense work. I currently have a 2010 2.13 ghz maxed out MacBook Air.

No regrets with the i7 2.0 Ghz here.

It's approximately the same.

Battery life is reportedly a tad shorter for the faster processor, but this was for the 2011 models.

Good grief, common sense would tell you this.

Common sense can tell you precisely how mug battery life is shorter by in a laptop?
