isn't the screen the biggest consumer of power for any laptop nowadays? I wonder what's the theoretical maximum battery life you could get out of this sort of setup if you had (say) the current macbook pro battery but the beagleboard

Probably not, considering that some CPUs in laptops go past 20 or 30 Watts. Most displays don't reach that power usage.
