Is that where we are going? Most people don’t need a laptop that has more than 2 hours battery life?

When I was in the office full time in the bad old days, you would be in a conference room and every one would plug their laptops in.

After I started working remotely and still doing business trips, one charge could last a full day either going back and forth between conference rooms, in “war rooms” etc and no one with M series MacBooks even worried about charging.

Heck my MacBook Pro (work laptop) can last a full day on power with my portable USB C powered external monitor where the power and video come from one cord.

Not to mention on flights with layovers.





You are exactly one of those few that I mentionned as exceptions. Fine.
