I believe the frustration is more due to the fact that even though the laptop is plugged in, the battery gets drained and after a while, it will simply shut down. I have had that issue with 2012 15 inch, 2016 15 inch, 2017 15 inch and heard similar stories from 16inch users.

Reminds me of the early brick-sized mobile phones. Sure you could be wireless, but if you wanted to use it more than few minutes, you had to find yourself a power socket.

I still find this a bit peculiar, I haven't experienced that in any of my previous machines, mac or not.

Normally, I'd call customer support and assume it's an issue with my device specifically. HN saved me a bunch of annoying phone calls.
