    Had they been real at the time they would have shipped with a 30-lb NiCad battery that provided 10 minutes of power and set your pants on fire.

      Worth it imo, no 90s PC laptop would let you do real-time graphics work or whatever

      They probably could have figured out something less power-hungry tbh, the MIPS processors of the time weren't so bad compared to PCs

      The issue is in all the support circuitry and especially those huge SCSI hard drives that spin at like 10K rpm lol
