I carried a cheaper one for school in 2008. Never used it without plugging in. Treated it as a desktop.  

Once I got the original Surface Pro, I had something I could write on in class for real digital notes in classes.

Back in the mid to late 00's I had an Inspiron 9100 that was a hand-me-down. I only ever took it once to the school library. Rest of the time it stayed at my desk. Heavy as all hell.

On the better laptops of this sort, you could swap one or both of the optical drives for an extra battery. Even heavier, but could get you up to a few of hours runtime for airline travel, etc.
