    Phone could be operating at 1v for all i know. anything mAh is meaningless to me in terms of power capacity.

      This so much. I will never understand the obsession with expressing battery capacity in milliamp hours instead of watt hours.

        Hell, I’d even take milliwatt hours. Consumers love bigger numbers

        4090, but yeah. 330w brick, old laptop (1070) had the same brick. Due to space constraints and wanting to take my computer to other peoples houses a desktop isn’t a great option for me.

        Do i recommend these laptops? Not really, you think a 4090 cost a lot for a desktop? It’s so much worse in laptop form, but it does have very specific uses.

        Maybe my next laptop will have a fancy charger like that instead of almost 2kg of brick attached to a cable, that’d be nice.

      You can still have that experience, you just have to sacrifice the large touchscreen, ability to run modern apps and websites, and everything else that makes it a smartphone.

        Complaining that a literal PC in your pocket, that can connect to the worlds collective knowledge, talk to people around the globe instantly and do a ton of other shit, only lasts 2 days on battery is just hilarious.

        Feels like my dad telling me gas was 5c a gallon back in his day.

        I don’t miss my brick phones because they lasted for 2 weeks on a single charge, I miss the days of not having a cellphone at all…but it doesn’t mean I don’t think these tiny devices are straight up magical.

          I don’t think OP was being particularly serious. There is a real issue though, the programs being made expand to use the resources available - devices are more powerful so developers can choose to be lazy and rely on the faster hardware rather than coding more efficiently.

            That’s a fair enough assessment. We see it with the PC all the time, thankfully it’s not as bad with servers. PCs though everything is just bloated because the hardware is fast enough to handle it, so it creates a shitload of ewaste because old stuff stops being able to run newer software efficiently.

    Well damn. Since I only use 50% of my battery capacity between 80% and 30%, that would mean I would get 5,000 mAh out of this thing instead of the like 2,600 I’m used to.
