Battery Life Teaser - 2012 MacBook Airs

[theSeb]

This is ok, but the 2010 13" Air was over 8 hours in light workload if I remember (8.5hrs I think).

They've changed the benchmark so the old results are not comparable.

I traded messages with Anand. The review is nearly done, but he's looking for a unit with a Samsung panel to run some comparisons. So if you are in North Carolina and have a 2012 MacBook Air with a Samsung LCD, maybe you can help get the review out more quickly. 🙂

Great stuff, the more comprehensive the better, even if it means waiting a little.

There's a review of a new case if you're interested?

He said it would come early this week. I'm guessing that means tomorrow.

review is up and is great. 13 i5 mba gets great battery life.

i5 gets about 20 more minutes of battery life than the i7 on light/medium loads. Guess it might be worth the jump after all.
