What is an Attic ? I would ask where you live but that is being nosey ! I have no basement because you can not dig in the mountains of Arizona Come to think of it never seen a basement in Phoenix Perhaps @PIEBALDconsult will comment
Digging holes in the desert is difficult due to caliche.

Storage space between the ceiling and roof. Yeah, I used to live in Texas, and no basements where I was there, either. I'm in Illinois now and actually have an attic and a basement, which isn't necessarily a good thing, because it's just more space to accumulate junk. I guess like my old VIC-20! :laugh:

Take a look at Framework laptops.

Nope... I had a Dell back then that could hold the whole working day in a normal usage. Was like that for two or three years, then I had a problem and the technician came... after that battery life drop 50% or 60%
M.D.V. ;) If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about? Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.
Sorry, but I have never seen ANY laptop that would get more than 4-4.5h of "working" time in real life. Of any brand. And I (and a lot of my clients) use Dell's a lot. The best "runtime" I ever got was a small 11.4" Lenovo with no spinning rust (64GB EMC), 4GB RAM and that could effectively work maybe 6-7h, mostly typing, not even web browsing or email...

11h runtime on a laptop? You're kidding, right? Or did that thing weigh 15lbs?

I kid you not, I could work one whole day and sometimes even more without plugging it in. So forgetting my power supply home has never been an issue in the past, for instance. Our IT would replace the original batteries with some extra(?) and super powered(?) batteries. And yes, it was quite heavy, but far more practical than carrying dangling cables all around, AND you could not forget your "power" since it was IN the laptop :-D Since I usually do not carry anything else than my laptop when I have to move it, the extra weight was not an issue. It was a Lenovo, cannot tell you anymore which ref exactly. I miss it veeeery much, I even postponed the normal 3-year-replacement-rate by 2 years to keep it. It unfortunately died from an electrical shock from a failing power supply (how ironical) which short circuited something and had the motherboard die - I did not even think that this was still possible with all protections they have now, but it was :(
