Laptop Upgrade

I’ve recently upgraded my laptop. Previously, I was running a 2017 13” (Intel) Apple MacBook Pro. It was good in most situations. However, the battery has started to suffer. I would get about an hour of (side-project) development time before the battery was at about 10%. I’ve upgraded…
