    My Lenovo runs most of a day on battery, while running VM’s - it uses a USB C charger.

    And it’s 4 years old.

    Not sure what you’re doing with a modern laptop to kill a battery like that - I hammer on machines (and phones) , screen’s never off, crank performance up (fan runs a lot), always running VM’s with services (Syncthing, Resiliosync and PiHole mostly), or building VM’s.

    I’m impressed that you beat a machine harder than I do, lol.

        Ah, yea, design work is intensive. I kind of figured it was something along those lines.

        So you have a portable workstation. Those beasts are just what you describe - heavy, massive power supplies, etc. I carried one for a short time, asked if I could downgrade! While it was nice to have the power, it was just too damn heavy (and too big). Damn thing kept my legs warm, all year round.

        Anymore I don’t want anything bigger than 14", and even that is slightly larger than I prefer, because I usually have a monitor.
