Huh? Bleeding edge laptops can last a lot more on battery. M3 16'' mbp lasts definitely enough for a full office day of coding. Twice that if just browsing and not doing cpu intensive stuff.
Even the M4 Max is not "bleeding edge". Apple is doing impressive stuff with energy efficient compute, but you can't get top of the line raw compute for any amount of financial of energy budget from them.
