If you run the GPU full-throttle, you get, what, 1.5 hours of battery life? That takes you from 'laptop' to 'portable desktop' territory. For CPU-only workload

If you run the GPU full-throttle, you get, what, 1.5 hours of battery life? That takes you from 'laptop' to 'portable desktop' territory. For CPU-only workloads, it's back to the ideal 'don't pack a charger'.

It can do both that’s the beauty. You can use it as a portable desktop sometimes and as an all day laptop other times all in the same device. I love my M2 Max on long haul flights when I can plug it in. Crossing the Atlantic I can just load up a game from steam and play for 5 hours and then I’m back home in the US.

  You can even run Crossover and play Windows games on it! I've been RDR2'ing on my M1 Pro and can't wait to crank up the graphics on the incoming M5 Max!!

  Ah, yes, that makes sense. I'm in Europe where a 5 hour flight would be 2 legs and you cannot charge during.
