Gotta turn the brightness all the way up so you squint at your laptop for about an hour before it dies and you have a tension headache.

Not if you’re using a macbook…

I use a MacBook Pro M4 from work, and the battery does last.

It’s also amazing that Apple Silicon can have similar power to a desktop RTX 4080 in a laptop (according to Blender rendering benchmarks at least), except without a 850 watt PSU or a 16GB RAM limitation. If only it didn’t cost $4k and only have one Linux distro option. I’m hoping AMD RDNA 5 SoCs will be competitive and address both limitations.

What does that have to do with seeing the screen outdoors?

I exaggerated the 1h battery life in my original post for comic effect. This person replied saying that’s not the case with a MacBook. I replied expressing my approval for MacBooks and couldn’t help but also expressing my other thoughts while we were on the topic.
