And yet, most consumers use laptops with build in batteries. A power outage doesn't stop them dead most of the time. It will for Windows 365 users. You're doing an awful lot of sugar coating for someone that claims to be against this product.

    I can't work on a laptop. Might as well just use a shitty tablet instead. I'll use a desktop PC, thank you very much.

    Also, in the last 20 years I have experienced 2 power outages. One took about 3 hours to fix, which was spooky but also very cool, the other was in January this year and lasted for about 30 minutes. It's really not a problem.

    I am with you on not using a laptop, but as I said, the majority of people do so. My experience is quite different. In the last 20 years I tend to have several power outages a year, and I have lived in multiple cities/states. My home is filled with excessive battery backups because of this and are fine unless the outages exceed a few hours, which annoyingly the outages in my new home/area tend to do (the longest was nearly two days :( ).
