I want to be able to grab my laptop and not even have to think about battery life. 5 hours is still much to short for that. Going anywhere for an extended period of time means carrying a power cable around and being tied to an outlet.
- batista 15y agoSure, you need to carry a power cable. But tied to an outlet? No. Where do you go for "an extended period of time" that doesn't have a power outlet to charge after you're done working away from one? I can understand such a need for, say, photojournalists, or war correspondents, nature professionals and the like, but what is the use case for the ordinary guy? Or do you consider working on the laptop on the beach or in the woods for stretches > 5 hours?
- overcyn 15y agoits not about being somewhere without an outlet. its having to find one and plug it in. Go to starbucks, a friends or the airport? now you have to find a seat thats next to a wall. Its a hassle that could be avoided. The only time my laptop should be charging is at night when i'm sleeping.
