I have the 13" w/ 1.86 and 4gb w/ flash and mine hasn't suffered at all. I've had it for about 5 days with pretty steady use (transferring all my files, internet, nothing too heavy) and I have 4:25 minutes left as of now.

Are you surfing the net with sites that use Flash like You Tube?

Yes. Even in the HTML5 beta, a lot of stuff is still Flash.

I find the battery life lasts a long time even with flash on my MB.
