Where the hell do people go that they are away from power for 15 hours and are on the computer the whole time? Are they video editing while in the middle of a safari?

And besides, every time I see comments like this, all I can think is that they never have even tried to find a PC laptop that is small, fast and has good battery life. Believe it or not they exist.

15h on light use is a full workday of more heavy tasks

And how often do you work a full day with no access to a charger?

> in the middle of a safari?

Long running batteries would have been useful when I first was on safari in 2002. But last year I was on safari again, and at camp there was power and wifi in the tents. It actually kind of killed some of the romance.

I feel the same way with smartphones, everyone wants more battery. Ten years ago it might be difficult to find a place were you can charge your phone but now there are sockets everywhere.
