There were actually some P4 laptops. They tended to be very large
(to
contain the required power and cooling) and have a battery life measured
in minutes. They probably should also have come with heavy-duty lap heat
protectors...
I doubt anyone who ever bought such a beast expected any kind of usable
lengthy battery-powered operation out of it, though.
Oh my God, I had one of those a few years ago -- it was a BEAST and
sounded like a jet engine taking off. Then it committed motherboard
suicide just before I was going to use it to present slides for a
medium-important talk. Don't miss it at all. :)
