Well by serious activity I mean writing C++ all day in emacs and compiling it maybe a hundred times or more. And the usual web browsing, email throughout the day.

I can easily make it through a full work day doing this without plugging in the machine.

Running emacs practically counts as letting the machine idle these days. I know it used to be considered super bloated, but even fart apps use more resources now.
