MBA battery only lasting 4 hours

[mmomega]

I can go an entire day + some on my MBA but my wife can kill her 15" retina + mine within a few hours.

How?

Flash based games and videos.

We can sit in the living room with full charged laptops and I'll be at 70% and she's asking for the charger.
Reverse it and on her Retina I can be at 60-65% and my MBA will be dead.

Her and those damn Facebook games.

I think dperel is confusing the new feature "Safari Power Saver" with Click to flash.

The Safari Power Saver doesn't work the same way ClickToFlash does. SPS only pauses media on tabs or windows that aren't active. ClickToFlash can prevent Flash content from playing at all, even on the active window/tab.
