Well, whoever told you that was wrong. Twice. It's not a laptop (never was)
and it can run 6-12 hours (nominal) on battery power. Turning on all the
power saving features, there have been cases of up to about 20 hours on a
single battery charge (this is with the hard disk, by the way, not a
stripped system).

I was playing Shufflepuck Cafe on a portable a couple of days ago. Try that
on a passive matrix display...
