And I've got a machine that operates for weeks of
moderate daily use
on two AA cells.
As have I, but I did say 'laptop' and not 'palmtop' :-).
[Of coruse it does't have a backlit display.
or a colour display, or
internal disk drives. You don't use it to watch movies.
Same with the above mentioned machine. It is also not exactly the most
powerful machine around. But if you want modern hardware capabilities,
then one of the prices you've got to pay is a power consumption of quite
a bit more than a few hundred mW.
