[Maanika]

I am having one curiosity to know about the Macbook Air. I have come to know that Apple is launching the two model for Macbook Air, one is 13inch and another is 11.6 inch. I like the basic feature of the 11 inch model which suits to my requirement. But what i wanted to know hows the battery life of 11 inch model is. And what is the difference between the 11 inch and the 13 inch battery life. Also let me know about the basic difference between both. If any one can then please let me know about the same.

I have been looking into the Apple for the query of yours and let me tell you that this is having one Built-in 35-watt-hour lithium-polymer battery with 45W MagSafe power adapter with cable management system. Also it is having the MagSafe power port. So total battery for the Macbook Air 11 inch is Up to 5 hrs while in wireless productivity and is Up to 30 days while on standby mode. Macbook Air 13 inch little higher then this. This is having the Built-in 50-watt-hour lithium-polymer battery with the 45W MagSafe power adapter with cable management system and having the MagSafe power port. 13 inch having the 7 hrs while on wireless productivity and having the 30 days while on standby time. I have got all this which might be helpful for you to know about the Macbook air.
