Yeah to me I don’t understand it either. But that’s personal choice. Then again I’m mostly an anti laptop person. Desktops make sense to me, laptops are the laissez faire I want to be a desktop but am demanding to much mobility for a function best performed in a localized hardwired intranet environment. With video games going mostly online I feel it has brought personal computers into a more internet focused setup and less of a local install hard computing get it done space. Thus exactly what companies like Amazon/Microsoft/etc want, creating a subscription based thin/zero client with a subscription to access anything.

Id say fuck the battery unless it’s for backup power, and still fuck it then if you don’t have your environment set up to run locally, as internet won’t work when the modems go out. Is it outdated concepts, sure… But it’s only outdated because marketing has pushed us that way in my opinion
