Laptops already reached the maximum limit of a battery you can take on an airplane. 100 to 160 Wh batteries need airline approval before you can bring it onto the airplane and anything about 160Wh is forbidden. So yeah larger batteries are not gonna happen, until solid state batteries become the norm.
So 99wh swappable is the sweet spot?
Alright then give me a laptop with an 50 array of 99 watt batteries.
Or hear me out, sell one with a removable battery so I shove a fuck off big battery in that sonovabitch. I ain't getting on a plane so let me jam a batter that could power the electrical system in my 2001 Tacoma for a week.
Okay but.. how often are you bringing your laptop on an airplane? This feels like an absurdly silly thing to limit our devices by, when the people who are rich enough to afford airplane travel can simply buy a separate laptop to bring on the airplane..
