Re: [Mossberg] New Mac Laptops Use Batteries Sealed for Power said by The Dv8or:said by ArthurS:If your time is soooo important that you need to work through the entire flight, then you will likely be flying business class, which increases your odds of getting seat power. 5-6 hours of battery life for work is plenty for a flight across the pond when you factor in time you will be sleeping and eating, been there, done that too many times. You can try again. That's a hell of an assumption to make, and is often untrue. Many people have shit they got to get done on the plane, but the company doesn't pony up for business class. Such is life in the current economy. Yep, and I'll wager to say that it's more true than untrue. Seems like you only work for slave drivers. If their work is so important that they need to take more than 5 or 6 hours of flight time to do it, most likely they are high enough up the ladder to get business class, or are frequent travelers that can get an upgrade (I used to do that all the time going SFO-NRT). How long is a flight from NYC to LHR? Subtract the appropriate #hours for meals, takeoff and landing, and you have the battery life of a MacBook Pro. I can tell you if a company expects me to work for the entire flight (or for that matter more than 5-6 hours on a flight, they can shove it! I need my rest to adjust to time changes as well so that I'm in my best shape to do business when I arrive!  |
