Interesting. I guess it must be a generational difference maybe.
I'm a kid of the 90's so I grew up with desktop PCs exclusively, so using a computer meant sitting at the computer desk, rather than using it anywhere else. So I guess this habit stuck to me as I rarely undock my laptop to use it anywhere else like kids who grew up with laptops.
But to me I see only benefits to this habit, hear me out:
- I get the best posture at the desk with ergonomic chair and external height adjustable monitor, versus in bed, couch or random table around the house where I need to hunch down at the small laptop screen. There's no way my neck can tolerate that posture for more than a couple of hours.
- more easily to mentally detach from work and digital entertainment, when the laptop is only at the desk and doesn't follow me around. As in, if I go to the park, or to the coffee shop, I go there to detach from "laptop usage" and unwind, like look out the window, read a book, chat up some people while enjoying the cappucino.
Due to these (personal) factors, I never understood the need for crazy battery life other than jobs that involve a lot of travelling, since most people I know seem to have similar computer usage habits to mine where they also leave their laptops at home.
Who knows, if I were to grow up with a laptop, I'd probably have different usage habits now.
