It started with notebooks, but that wasn’t the master plan.

Anything with over 100WH batteries would need airline approval before you can fly with it. This is why laptop makers rarely exceed this limit.

    Yeah, but that's not what I'm talking about. It's really hard to find laptops today that get up to 100 Wh. And the guy you were talking to wanted at least 90 Wh.

    It ain't the FAA making laptops have 50 Wh or less batteries.

    A current Thinkpad T14 with the largest battery option is 52 Wh.

    The few laptops that you can get in 2024 with a 100 Wh battery are generally very-high-power gaming laptops with a relatively short usable battery life off one charge.

    Tuxedo Computers out in Germany makes a non-gaming 14-inch InfinityBook with a 100 Wh battery.

    There are some very expensive "ruggedized" laptops with large batteries intended for use away from civilization, like the Panasonic Toughbook (can take two batteries and do 136 Wh total).

    It's really uncommon today.

    MacBook Pros are 100Wh as well. Battery life is incredible.
