Yeah, but not everyone flies, not everyone flies into/from the US, the current MacBook is with 76 Wh (IIRC) below the rumored 99 Wh and the actual 160 Wh limit.

And for the love of god I don't understand why a pro notebook does not have swappable batteries [1]. It would add a millimeter and a few dozen grams, but allow you to choose between slim and fat batteries, and replace them when they lose capacity. You can get rid of ports and tell people it is for their best, and they will buy it. Surely you can make it a bit thicker and use the same explanation. And here is an idea for a business. You know how companies like Westfalia and Karman take VW buses and modify them? Take a new MacBook, saw open the case at the bottom, and add an aftermarket battery, and if you're at it more RAM. Impossible for an individual, but maybe not impossible if you have a factory with all the necessary equipment. It's going to be expensive, but just sell those modded MacBooks to people who buy business class tickets and who have enough money. [1] OK, I know why - so people have to buy a new one when the batteries go bad.
