It's insane. I really want one for that reason, but ThinkPad with a ugreen 145 Watt battery bank gives me 16 hours of use. That's all waking hours.

It's hard to justify spending 3x as much on a single laptop just for that kind of battery life.

I have done a full 8 hours of work on my Dell Latitude 5440 before on battery. I put it in bat saver and it lasted me the whole work day.

But I re cognize something: why would I need to do that?

I sat a desk or my couch all day both of which had a convenient outlet. There was no point in doing that all on bat. Yeah it's impressive to have a crazy long battery life and is why I wanta MacBook for coffee shop coding days, but again, there's almost guaranteed to be convenient outlets and I own a 145Watt battery bank if needed. Thus my $150 ThinkPad E495 has been reaching 16+ hours of use without needing a wall wart.

Maybe your use case is different but mine where I'm certainly going to be stationary enough to use a plug or a battery bank means I can't justify the apple tax. Plenty of people have done this calculation hence why Apple still doesn't have an appreciable enterprise market share let alone a competitive one.

Just saying, if you had spent as much on a laptop as you did on a MacBook, you would get a full work days of battery.

It's the same failure point apple fans have about Android. Yeah there are cheap androids. They suck, but also they cost$100-$200 new. What's apples offering in that price range?

I haven't had a prime sub in 5 years. It's not been worth it in a while.

What good is the convenience of having everything on the same website if I have to determine if it's fake or not?

I don't really care unless it has the same price point as the 8gb one.

But we all know it won't be.
