Here's the kicker: it cost about the same as the highest end Macbook pro before the RAM madness.

> The market segment that exists one where battery life sucks, windows isnt the preferred OS, and some high performance on a portable device on battery is beneficial.

I agree the market exists, but think it's much smaller than it appears: most people do not work under these constraints most of the time; a cheap laptop + beefy desktop could do a better job in aggregate, wirh greater flexibility, especially for people who spend most of their time at the desk with their computer plugged in - which is most people.

I suspect the portability requirement is sometimes aspirational, similar to the people who buy trucks overestimating the number of times they'll need to cary stuff on the truck bed.

Thinking no one leaves their house to work is some serious projection dude.

I quite clearly was talking about personal devices; are you in the habit of buying computers for your employers? Or perhaps you carry your personal laptop to work. I do neither, excuse my projection if you do either of those things.

Edit: are you kad that I have a remote job? Your tone is really salty for some reason.
