> If you never use your battery, why own a laptop at all? Why not buy a Mac mini or an iMac?

Sometimes I need to move, for example while travelling, otherwise I would use a desktop computer.

People travels often. I do everyday.

I have one corp laptop and I don't have charger in my home. I don't want to have one more power brick for my 16 inch M1 macbook so I usually borrow a line from my wife's M1 Macbook Air but that rarely happens like only during weekend.

After switching to M1, I feel very safe to be unplugged. Even if I need to charge it, some 20W level of phone chargers can charge my mac while I'm using it. This guy only uses around 15~20W even with tons of chrome tabs + zoom meeting. It is using 9W ATM.

This is really a game changer for me.
