Why would anyone come back? Nobody is bothered by you having a device that you like, and nobody cares if you replace it.

People without this particular 12 hour battery life requirement (which is quite niche, most of us live near plugs) are talking about what works for them.

Battery life is the best selling point of MacBooks and the reason these are selling like crazy. I’m a full time Linux user and I’m even considering buying a macbook and running a Linux VM full time because of the battery.

They certainly aren't in Europe, Africa or Asia, as not everyone has the income to afford Apple prices.

Just to be clear this is entirely a response to what I have in the parentheses, right?

Ok, perhaps it is not niche. I don’t know. I have never had to use a laptop for 12 hours without any ability to recharge but if that’s a common use case I’m happy that folks are finding a way to satisfy.

		No it's pretty niche. Most people don't have a need for super long battery life.

I am a Linux fanboy and I totally agree that I am almost always near a plug and don't need that kind of battery life.

But when I can go for days on my work Macbook without charging (and I am a developer, so I do compile stuff), I kinda wish I could have that on Linux, too.

And again, I don't need it. Just like I don't need a fast Internet connection, but well... :-).
