sure, but I mean, we're just shifting the battery drain to the laptop now
the laptop has a bigger battery, obviously. but i'm trying to understand the Venn diagram of people who are willing to tote around a laptop, but not an external hotspot or extra battery pack to offset the extra battery drain on their phone, and need to do this for hours at a time with no AC power available, and are also willing to pay $20 a month for it or whatever the carrier charges
all I can really come up with is "businesses who issue laptops that need to stay connected to the internet and it's not feasible to expect employees to use their phones as hotspots"
and maybe "people doing mission critical shit who want the laptop cellular modem as a backup in case something happens to their phone or whatever"
and of course people who won't blink at $20/month

Access points use more energy than stations (clients). > and of course people who won't blink at $20/month There's no extra charge for an additional SIM card with some phone plans.
