Ben Heck's PS3 Slim Laptop 84
We've occasionally discussed Ben Heckendorn's various console modifications, and he's now come out with a new one: a laptop version of the PS3 Slim. It has volume control buttons for the built-in speakers, and plenty of vents for cooling. The display is a 17" widescreen panel, and the Slim's hardware doesn't fill that much space in the case, so there's a neat little compartment for the power cord. Ben's blog post shows details of the laptop's construction.

Maybe it could be sold with a couple of Lenovo|Mac stickers to bring to some of those very engaging meetings, presentations, etc...

So, TFA says he has some spare room which he uses to fold up the power cord.
According to some sites, the PSU gives 12V and the unit consumes 80 Watts while playing a game.
throw in some 20 for the screen, which gives about a 100 Watts @ 12v.
put in some overhead for the speakers and you easily get 9 Amps @ 12v.
Would it be possible to run this beast of batteries? I know 9-10 Amps is easily done in RC batteries, but would it be possible to game for say 1 hour on batteries in such a compartment?
