What about power consumption? Could you have a tiny Mac which runs approximately forever on a single charge?

I imagine the power consumption of the compute part would be dwarfed by the display in any case.
I was imagining you'd still plug it into an external display. I guess you could fairly argue that defeats the purpose of a battery, though...
Although, it might be cool with e-ink, low refresh rate notwithstanding.
E-ink can have better refresh rate than the LCD of a Mac Portable. And would also be readable.
Would be interesting to see how the ROM deals with changes in display geometry (the Portable wasn’t 512x284) - how hard would it be to make a 1024x768 portrait Mac or some other versions that never existed.

Power consumption is rather tiny I guess, but you would still want a screen!
