    I've got the full optioned MacBook Air 13" and it'll last anywhere between 5-7 hours with wifi on in OSX depending on what I'm doing. I don't know about Win7 or ubuntu, but it shouldn't be too far off from there.

    my macbook air 11" with the screen at half brightness and wifi on (bt off) gets a good 5 1/2 hours under mac os x. it gets about 3-3 1/3 under windows 7 with the same settings.
