Can they fix the "randomly turn itself back on and drain the battery while in its bag so that it's always dead when you actually need to use it on the go" problem?
Because that's been a problem for like 20 years at this point and means I have to treat my laptops as if they don't actually have batteries because it's schrodinger's power any time I pull one out to work.
I was at a conference this week, and half the attendees were huddled in the cafeteria the whole time because there were some tables on one wall with outlets.
It's probably because your computer has quick boot turned on which isn't actually fully shut off. More like a deep hibernate which can still receive magic packets that can turning it on for updates and such. If it's a work laptop it's almost certainly because your work has set up so it wakes up when they push an update. It's more of an issue with how your work has set up group policies. You can turn off magic packets in advanced network settings if you have admin access to your computer, which you may not if it's a company laptop.
Had a friend who used to put his super-workstation laptop in his backpack. It would randomly turn itself back on and get HOT in there at times, like firestarter hot.
