Well,
considering my 80x86-based laptop (which is over 20 years
old) runs for well over 10 hours before needeing a charge....
[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. The memory
is row
after row of 6264s, the battery islead-acid. No prizes for guessing
what
it is]
And it must be so fun to lug around (or use on one's lap) with that
lead-acid battery :). I'm guessing my netbook could run for quite a
time were I willing to lug a car battery around with it :).
Oh come on... It's not a car battery, it's 3 2.5Ah Cyclon cells. And the
batteryt comparies favourably in amss with other similar-capacity
batteries of the time.
I do however refuse to call the Amstrad PPC640 a 'Laptop'. That machine
is wider than a PDP11.
