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 5070 Ti in a laptop, except without a space heater 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, and tension headaches?

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 going off on a tangent to express my other thoughts on the topic.

Oh, whoops, I didn't look at names. Nevermind.
