It’s a huge laptop and most people who are using it for professional workflows will have it on a power source. I have one myself. I mean I can lay on the couch with my big 16” screen a do video editing but most likely in just gonna relax and surf the web or check emails. If I wanna go work on a big project that requires performance I’m gonna dock it and be a n power with an external display.
I’ve sat on my couch not plugged in with my top spec M1 Pro and I get about 6 hours of video editing and rendering on just battery. Pretty impressive compared to a gaming laptop I have where you can literally watch the battery drop before your eyes while rendering.
the one issue I never had was a low battery. the M1 Max was a workhorse in that way. it would go days between charges, sometimes over a week if work was light

Sounds like you could do the first one with a phone or light tablet and have a second machine that outperforms the laptop with your external display.
