One big gripe with the new MacBook's are that you can't remove the battery easily. If you are the type that uses it at a desk often, plugged in - the battery life will go down quite a bit even if you aren't using it. My Netbook - which I had plugged in at a desk most of the time, using it maybe once a week on batteries - still has a good 6 hrs battery life 2.5 years later.

BTW - there's a new Samsung 13" laptop that's supposed to rival the MB Air in weight, thickness and battery life, AND it has an i5 processor. Just throwing that in.
