I have seen a lot of comments/discussions about battery life of laptops but my opinion is that laptops are really bad ergonomically for any kind of work that goes beyond few minutes. I always recommend people to attach the laptop to an external monitor, keyboard and mouse. It seems that people do use laptops for doing work on the go and that too for long hours.
- kitsunesoba 4y agoI definitely prefer having a dual monitor setup with a proper keyboard and pointing device at my desk, but my 16" MBP is quite serviceable when I want to sit elsewhere in my house for a change or take my work with me. Now for 12"/13"/14" laptops, yes I agree that extended dev work isn't the most practical, but then again I spend most of my day with IDEs and simulators — it's probably a different story for someone who lives in a terminal or spends most of their time writing prose.
- Joe_Boogz 4y agoI work remote, if I want to do anything computer related outside of work then it basically *has* to be on a laptop. I just can’t commit to spending more time at my desk for personal projects / etc. An efficient/fast laptop that I can use wherever (coffee shop / GFs house / Parents) is a game changer for me. Every Windows laptop I’ve owned has required to me be tethered to a wall socket after 1-2 hours of use. These MacBooks literally last an entire weekend of moderate - heavy use. It’s truly wild and is an experience that I crave for a windows laptop.
