It's really nice to not have to worry about charging so often. I have a MBA I use as a "work laptop", and it's very freeing being able to leave it in my backpack, charge every few days, and be able to work from wherever I want without even bringing the charger with. I never use it >8hrs unplugged in one sitting.
- FirmwareBurner 3y agoI also never worry about charging because whenever I put the laptop on my home desk or work desk, I also instinctively plug in the USB-C cable carrying power and display data to it. So I can't imagine my life would improve in any meaningful way if I were spared the effort to plug in a cable once/twice a day, especially since I always use an external monitor at home and work anyway so power delivery and charging is never something I can forget about. And the rare occasions I do use the laptop on a train, coffeeshop, balcony, or somewhere else that's not my home or office desk, I never do it so long that the 8h battery life becomes an issue since my posture can't stand being hunched down at a laptop for more than a couple of hours, instead of working from the proper ergonomics of a desk + monitor. Every workplace I know gives you external monitor and dock, and for home use, everyone I know they has their laptops plugged in at their desks almost all the time. So again, I can't see what my demographic is missing if we had even more battery life.

- FirmwareBurner 3y agoSure, and that's why I was asking to learn what exactly do those people do that they need more than 8h+ of battery life.
