Just replaced my late-2009 13" 2.5ghz/8G MBPro with a 2.13ghz/4G 13" MBA last week and I don't regret downgrading at all. The Air is an awesome machine and has essentially none of the drawbacks of...

Wow, thank you so much, this appears to have been the cause. Apple must have made this far too aggressive to get that 7-hour battery life figure.
