That is more than enough for your stated needs. Even a 2008 MacBook will suffice your needs.

Your thread title is not very descriptive, be it "Mbp" or "MBP". "Will a 13" MBP enough for my needs (no games)?" would be a better title.
Anyway, what do you mean with "any problem so far"? A 2011 13" MBP is more power than you might even need, as you stated you only use the internet, which can be done on computers from four years ago.
Look at my first post in this thread for instructions.

It depends on what you run at the time. I can get 7 hours with bluetooth off, screen way down, backlight off. But that is with Snow Leopard. When I was using Lion maybe 5.5 - 6 hours tops.
If you close all the apps, you won't be able to do much.
If you close the cover it will run for a reaaaallly long time.
if you close all the apps and just look at the screen then yes you will get 5 hours
i get 3-3.5 using Safari with some youtube and other streaming video
hahaha.. close the cover can till 1 week

why? too big for me. as exp!!
This entire thread makes my head hurt.
OP, first you said no gaming, then you asked if the MBP would be ok for games. For some it will be fine. Just keep in mind that the 13" only has integrated graphics, so if you're playing graphic-intensive games you might notice some slowdown. How long your battery will last completely depends on what you're doing. If you're not running anything but you leave the computer open it will last for a while...but in that case, you might as well just close the lid and let it sleep.
