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.
