Call me crazy, but most people working typically leave their laptops wired in to either a charger or a hub so they can have more monitors. I know some people will go through the effort of charging and pulling the cord, and charging later, but most people don't want to micromanage something they can forget about while working. If you're living on battery life for a work call, it would not matter if you're on Windows, changes are high your batterly life will self-terminate quicker than you realize.
Among Linux users, long battery life is for in-office workers (who leave their desk to attend meetings) in hybrid companies (where no meetings are laptop-free) in roles that sometimes involve back-to-back meetings.
But these people would already have a company-provisioned laptop.
I thought the idea was the Framework is the company-provisioned one. Or are they letting people do corp work on personal laptops?
I don't want to maintain state on two laptops
With the right tooling, the state is minimal and gets synchronized between laptops.
CPU decoding/encoding for video means warm chassis + spinning fans. Fan noise is very annoying with video calls.
