My 'normal' PC's eat 50 - 100 Watts, depending on the processor used. A 200 
MHz Winchip computer takes 50 Watts. A twin-CPU AP400 (two P-II/400 MHz) 
eats 80 Watts. 

Are you sure about the 250 Watts? Or were they burning CD-ROM's in mass 
production?

A laptop is a computer you can put on your knees. So, a Kaypro is NOT a 
laptop. It is a (trans)portable. But a Sharp PC 4700 was. 

A notebook is more or less A4 sized and roughly 4 cm high. But most Windows 
users wouldn't make this distinction at all.
