Facts about why you should pay more to an unethical company for a use case that doesn’t exist smells like a sales pitch to me.
Where are you going to work on your computer for 16 hours straight without access to a wall outlet?
Uh, work? Sometimes I’m in meetings all day in different rooms at my company, and I really don’t like bringing my charger around. So that’s 8 hours, and I’ll be running a lot of stuff in the background, which absolutely drains my battery life.
I also like using my laptop at airports when traveling, and finding a charger can be a royal pain. I’ve had multiple occasions when my laptop battery died and I just couldn’t use it, and I get something like 3 hours battery life (which is pretty decent for a laptop).
I also WFH 3x/week, so it’s not uncommon for me to work from the couch or walk around the house when on boring calls all day.
I’m plugged in most of the time most days, but exceptions do happen, and it’s nice to not have to worry about battery life. I hope this anecdote helps.
Oh! Oh ho no, boohoo! Mr. Double-Shift-Back-to-Back isn’t able to carry a charger to use at the 176 outlets in his building.
Sounds like you don’t need a good PC, you need a union.
I mean, I can and do carry my charger, I just prefer not to. I have needed to leave a meeting to go fetch a charger, as have my coworkers, which is disruptive. Having >8 hours battery life would mean I would never need to think about the battery any more, I could just use the laptop all day and plug it in at night, just like my phone.
Ah yes, unethical company, as opposed to an Ethical company like who? Asus who was just caught overcharging their customers on RMAs?
HP? The most evil printer manufacturer on the planet?
Keep in mind my first choice, Framework did not sell in my country at the time, still might not.
Not having to have battery anxiety is not a sales pitch, it’s just good stuff, if you’d have a software developer job, you could maybe understand
And you also just betrayed this whole anti-apple shebang thats going on here, it’s about the money innit? If you can’t afford it, you need to come up with nonsensical reasons why apple bad, don’t worry, I used to do that too.
Lmao yessir Ima so poora can’t afford a machine that forces obsolescence every few years, made in a sweatshop, not allowed to repair, made a deal with ARM to kill off competition, walled garden designed, lobbies the governments, takes a picture of you every few seconds, preferred by the CCP machine.
Oh gosh if only I could afford a new machine every 3 years from Apple but it costs approximately $70 per month oh no so expensive ohmagod how can we mere peasants?
Listen dude you’re paying more to save a negligible amount on power, have a battery that lasts slightly longer than the competitors and much longer than anybody will ever need it to, and suffer much worse customer service. And you think its a status symbol or sign of wealth? You got scammed.
Every 3 years? regular laptops maybe last that long, but I am pretty sure macs last a fair bit longer, I was still working on a 2015 model in 2020 without any issue, only reason I stopped is I had to give it back.
I will be using this one for at least 5 years if not longer.
have a battery that lasts slightly longer
slightly doing a bit of heavy fucking lifting there, lmao. try 2x,3x,easily 5x in some cases.
And you think its a status symbol or sign of wealth?
I don’t, not sure where you got that from, I just think most people hating on it do so because they can’t afford it, which seems to be case a lot.
You got scammed.
Whatever you need to tell yourself, lol.
