I would create a minimal RAM Disk containing Mac OS with WriteNow or BBEdit. The hard drive would only spin up to save a file. I could run off battery for maybe 5 to 6 hours.

I'd love to free myself from the tyranny of shade trees, if that is an option! I've got some awesome wide-open grassy fields nearby. Modern Thinkpads are totally unusable in full sun.
