    It’s not wanted by the market obviously. Most only need their laptop to last from the office on the commute

      That’s just not true. My laptop (MacBook Pro Intel) has atrocious battery life, and Apple made a big deal about battery life improvement with the M-series chips. It’s a very valid complaint at my office, and we routinely have people running back to their desks to grab a charger or someone when meetings go long.

      There’s obviously a trade-off there, but I’ve heard complaints about battery life for years now, but the market just hasn’t filled that need. I guess it’s kinda filled by massive external battery banks and plug-ins everywhere?

      But having a larger battery as an option would be welcome. Make a thicc chassy as an option at checkout on the 16" laptop.
