M5 Ultra in a MacBook

[indefinite]

That battery wouldn't last much though.

An M5 Ultra chip sitting in a power user's lap idle is unlikely. So either the MacBook Pro would need to get a battery/thermal upgrade or the user can carry around a power adapter.

Doesn’t the battery in the current 16 inch MacBook Pro already pushed right up against the airplane battery capacity restrictions?
Either way, I have seen and held gaming laptops, and I also owned a 16 inch MacBook Pro for a time.
It is absolutely ridiculous to say that those 6 LB + plastic beasts are even close to the portability of a MacBook Pro.
Personally, I’m hoping that the next MacBook Pro actually see a *reduction* in size.
If there is one thing the Touch Bar MacBook Pros had going for them, it was the fact that the actual design of the things were incredible to hold and carry around. Hopefully the efficiency improvements that come along with moving to 2 NM allow them to slim the MBPs down a little, but importantly with no performance compromise.

Bunch of non-sense. Just because Apple sucks at making laptops, doesn't mean it can't be done. Other laptop manufactures have no problem cooling 400W of power no problem at all.

Give the M5 Ultra to Lenovo and you will see they can make it work no problem at all.

Apple laptops are bad are they. Tell that to my 2012 MacBook Air, which my brother still uses, that is in better condition now than the 3 year old Asus it replaced was.
