Quote from: heffeque on Yesterday at 12:04:08You totally ignored the "mini" in "miniPC", which use laptop HW, so they use very little power.
Again complete nonsense, because they do not have a keyboard and screen like laptops, and the body is much smaller in volume and therefore the cooling system is even noisier than that of laptops. And this is not an autonomous, self-sufficient laptop with batteries for at least 2-3 hours. Therefore, miniPC is the most idiotic solution from the PC camp.

I have never stated this. But modern battery technology (despite 100500 promises over 20 years from upstart startups) is still bad and cannot keep modern laptops running at 80-100W for at least 12 hours with a minimum of 3000 cycles before capacity drops by 25%. For this you need a capacity of at least 1200 Wh, i.e. 10-15 times higher than current batteries. But if they don't allow planes with 100Wh+ batteries, how will they allow them into airplanes with 1000Wh+? This is the second problem. And it expires due to the explosiveness and enormous energy released by such a container (this is already close to the level of energy released by a hand grenade during an explosion). Batteries for 1200-1500 Wh should be absolutely safe in everyday life. There are simply no such technologies on the planet.
Therefore, any laptop (especially modern monsters due to the deliberate cheating started by Intel/Nvidia with consumption, because technical processes do not give the necessary increase when moving to the next generation of ASML scanners and performance per 1W in the form of a graph becomes an increasingly flat curve, and not as before - an exponential growth curve) works normally only from the power supply, but it is in this mode that modern models with moronic USB-C power supply cannot be safely used on beds and sofas reclining, resting for right-handed people. because their feet are right on the left, where the moronic manufacturers install USB-C power ports, instead of placing them symmetrically on the left and right or in the back, or supplementing them with a reliable angled round plug, as has always been the case before.
The younger generation of designers in development departments are clearly idiots who have no qualifications in laptop ergonomics. I would fire them all for such decisions.
