I’m in the same boat as Ben. Read his whole post but, for me, the focus is:

> If the 15-20 hour battery-life claim is true, this is a machine I would absolutely use as a supplement to my MBP. Especially as, with an A-series processor, that claimed battery life might be accurate. In general, I find MacBooks deliver around 50-60% of their claimed life in real usage, while my iPad meets or even exceeds the claimed life.

There are two Apple devices I own with all-day battery life: My iPhone 11 Pro (barely) and my Apple Watch. At the end of the day (say, 15 hours of use), my iPhone is typically in the red (< 20%) but my Apple Watch is typically good for a second day (about 75% left). My Mac? I'm lucky if I get 4 hours out of it. It lives plugged in. So a MacBook with all day battery life? That'd be enough to change my habits. I'd carry it around with me. Especially if it was less than a kilogram. Sign me up.
