The average battery life of the MacBook Air falls far short of the five hours promised during Steve Jobs’ keynote address at Macworld.
That’s according to owners of the notebook on the Apple support forums, who claim to be experiencing approximately two hours of battery life, with recharge times taking a ridiculous eight-to-ten hours.

The MacBook Air has finally gone on sale in the UK - a little under three weeks after Steve Jobs announced the ultra-thin notebook at Macworld 2008.
The 1.36kg laptop is currently the world’s thinnest, measuring just under 2cm at its thickest point, tapering to 0.4cm. It packs a 13.3-inch widescreen display, 1.6GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor, an 80GB hard drive, 802.11n wireless networking and 2GB of RAM as standard for £1,199. Or you could blow an additional £829 and plump for the 1.8GHz / 60GB solid state drive version instead. Eek.

PC Advisor reports that two PC makers are planning to use the miniaturised Core 2 Duo chip that Intel custom-made for Apple’s MacBook Air sub-notebook.
Although there’s no indication of exactly who the two manufacturers might be, or indeed when the products might come to market, the news confirms that the nature of the relationship between Apple and Intel isn’t quite as cosy or exclusive as Apple CEO Steve Jobs has insinuated.
