I've considered it due to remote work. Simply because I'm sitting here with a company laptop that is plugged into a docking station literally 100% of the time. Apple's battery management functions (pausing charging to not cook batteries) has bitten me on the ass a number of times it doesn't seem to realize that i'm working the cpu pretty hard (intel) and it drains the pittance of a battery i have left an d shuts down without bothering to start using wall power.
- pjungwir 5y agoI wonder if all the recent work-from-home has changed anything? My reaction to the headline was, "Some of us never left." But then I've worked from home for seventeen years. If I drove to an office every day, I might prefer to own just a laptop too. But working from home with an overpowered desktop is great! And if I want to work from the back porch I use the old Macbook Air, ssh in, and attach to my tmux sessions.
