It's easy to surpass performance with a 150 watt TDP.

But for laptop users who aren't plugged in 24/7 performance/battery life is an important factor.

I don't want a drag-race laptop that has ULTIMATE POWER ... for 1.5 hours and then I need to plug it in to a 200W+ power supply to get it to charge while still working. I want one I can use a full work day and still have battery left.
