[QUOTE="cptkrf, post: 1521506, member: 134861"] As I have said in another post, the new MBA (2013) is very little different than the 2011 or 2012 models when it is sitting on your lap (somewhat cooler, though). However... The battery time on the new Air is unbelievable. I don't have a spare charger to carry in the bag because the connectors are different on my old one and none of the converter plugs are available locally yet. But... I'm not sure I even care any more. Even after a full day on the road, when I get home there is still usually more hours left in the battery than my 2011 had fully charged. Apple wasn't giving out an EPA rating on this one - their claims are real. Not even remotely comparable to my otherwise satisfactory Linux Certified laptop - 1.5 hours and it is flat. [/QUOTE]
