iOS accidentally has this feature if you use apple health to track medications. Whenever the time zone changes, it’ll send the user a notification to ask the user if they want to adjust the schedule for the different time zone or maintain the existing times
I mean, just looking at a store like Best Buy, the snapdragon laptops look really good for their price. If you’re not gaming, they do office and school tasks just as well. And for a lot of people, the thin fanless one that doesn’t get hot and has 30 hours of battery life is really what they want in a device.
