We used to have fucking 12.5 inch laptops that could have a total battery capacity of 157.6Wh, you could get an actual 24 hours of runtime.
Now, every non-Apple laptop has the smallest fucking batteries, and battery life is worse than ever.

Airline regulations limited battery capacity defacto. Can't bring 100whr on a plane. Ergo no 100whr+ laptops exist.

You are clueless, you can take the OP laptop (157Wh) on a commercial plane no problem.

You can take anything on a plane if its not inspected, you shit eating moron. Regulations are still regulations. We did not arbitrarily settle on 80 to 99whr battery packs because it was funny.

You are literally fucking retarded.
The laptop in the OP pic does not break those regulations.

157whr in one device breaks that. Try again.

Yes. Or at the very least these gook companies need to be forced at gunpoint to ship true solid state electrolytes in all batteries so we can stop being afraid of huge thermal events from li cells

Can't you circumvent this with multiple batteries?

if the restriction applied per battery, yes. if it applies by device, then just bring multiple devices instead kek

Technically yes. Laws are stupid and never forward thinking. You can't have an external battery over that same capacity, but in my prechecked bags along with a couple guns I have had two battery packs that were right at the line and it was fine.
Bureaucrats are always fucking gay retards.

It's under 160Wh, so it's good.
You are the dumbest gorilla nigger I have ever seen.

Hey, poverty faggot. I am a first class traveler. Try looking at real sources.

Only with special approval can a device with a 100whr+ battery be brough aboard a plane. I literally have this memorized.

Travel regs make Applefaggot laptop designs even worse because you can't swap out the batteries easily. Otherwise you could just take more than one battery with you that doesn't exceed the limit.

I take zippo lighters, fuel for them, several kinds of personal use amounts of drugs including stinky pot, laptop+spare battery and sometimes sneak through 2+liter bottles of liquid since the soda my mother likes isn't sold in the state she lives in now. I've been doing this for years and I've never been caught or stopped even when I'm "randomly selected" for additional screening.

The trick is to go through TSA reeking of cannabis and obviously high on MDMA. I do not board an airplane unless I'm high as fuck because I'm terrified of flying. Generally I ride the MDMA until it wears off and if the flight is longer than 4 hours long I start eating the xanax. By the time I land I have no idea where the fuck I am but none of my shit has ever been taken. TSA opens my checked bag all of the time and just tosses the illegal shit back in there.

Oh I forgot to add. If you walk through the cancer x-ray machine with your belt still on they all rush to greet you on the other side. Then they ask you to lift you shirt and breath a sigh of relief when they see your belt. I did this by mistake the first time. But now I do it every time as a bit of a protest against the cancer x-ray machine. They never make you go back and walk through it again. After that everyone just assumes you're retarded/first time flyer/country bumpkin. So they wave you by the rest of the way because they don't want to deal with you anymore.

While they're busy freaking out about your belt on one x-ray cancer machine the TSA chimp isn't watching the other x-ray cancer machine scanning your luggage.

Body scanners and luggage xrays are monitored by different people at every airport I've passed through since 2018. I've also never seen a single one of these obese mutts get up to do anything other than wand someone very lazily.
You can apply for a pre check and skip near all of this shit too btw. No joke. Makes flying a breeze. Only thing easier is a private plane.

>apply for a pre check
That's just for good goyim. I prefer to make their job as hard as possible. The TSA chimps are forced to get off their fat asses every time I walk by them. But I'm so nice and play so stupid they can't justify getting angry with me and mouthing off. Even when I'm pissing them off more than anyone they've seen in the last 6 weeks.

I was born with the best accent to play dumb with and I do it all of the time. I like when people assume I'm stupid. It makes fucking with them much easier. For example, when I go to larger cities the first thing I do when I get off the airplane is usually go into a gas station with a lit cigarette. When they freak the fuck out about it I say
>Oh, sorry it isn't illegal where I'm from. So can I get a pack of them cowboy killers?
They become enraged. But they ring me up and keep their mouth shut every time.

Just swap in a lower capacity battery for the flight, no problem, right?
