The main thing keeping me from doing this isn't processing power, but battery life. If Apple's estimates are correct, the 11" Air has 50% worse battery life than the 13" MBP, and the 13" Air has 30% worse. Since the weight of the 13" MBP is already light enough for me, the slight additional decrease in weight for a big decrease in battery life actually reduces its portability for me.

It was mentioned, that the battery life for MBAs was measured using stricter tests. Maybe difference is not as bad as it looks?
