We're living in an era where Samsung is now grappling with widespread, catastrophic battery issues with their phones. It gets harder to design and ship computers at scale every day.
It was more about the GPU (dynamic switching is a b*tch, especially when coupling a discrete one in the keyboard with an integrated one in the display), and the old power management problems resurfacing again.
