As a lab tech, nothing annoys me about a laptop more than a terrible battery or a major drop in performance once the laptop is unplugged. If it can’t survive a cross-country flight or let me quickly open multiple applications, why bother?
I used to use a gaming laptop as my daily computer, but while it had the needed performance, the battery life was atrocious. Even when I was just looking at spreadsheets and my email, I’d have to keep it plugged in or I’d be looking at a dead machine in just a few hours.
