Most business can't afford to be that ambiguous because it leaves the field too open for legal hassles and god knows what else. Since netbooks and laptops aren't the first things we think of when it comes to gaming, why not just contribute to the various community initaives already started by other members?

That would actually be detrimental to your netbook's battery. It would also require you to be constantly in the vicinity of a charging socket, which you won't be when you're on the road.

If you're at home, you can remove the battery, and let the laptop run on household power, that's way better for the battery than recharging it every couple of minutes.
My sarcasm detector stays inconclusive about your post, so I'm not sure how to reply. ;) But you can probably imagine that such a message wouldn't really attract customers? ;)

I know, my attempts to make jokes usually only make myself chuckle lightly and there is a lot of blank faces around me. I might go mainstream one day.

It's an interesting idea - what you propose would simply be a gaming-specific iteration of the old Network Computer or Thin Client idea, except that the server would be in your own house. This would actually be a perfect application for [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thunderbolt_(interface)]Thunderbolt[/url]. Have one cable provide everything - display, data, even power. The problem of course is that outside of that one niche case it'd be practically useless for anything else. I think what we'd really want in the end is a computer that would essentially go back to the old idea of the Network Computer - for gaming, that would essentially be OnLive (though for it to truly shine, we'd need something like widespread WiMax/FiOS adoption). As a matter of fact, I'd be willing to bet that Razer likely has one of their pie-in-the-sky prototypes doing exactly what you say in one of their labs right now.

"They went ape over the Switchblade, and went crazy for Project Fiona...they're going to love this! Yeah! We're going to save PC gaming!" :P

I think that's because most people have budget laptops with less-than-optimal power management functionality, and have cheaply designed batteries. I'd bet that if you get into the territory of business class laptops you'd do much better in terms of power consumption. And that would go even further if you went entirely with SSD/Flash storage and got rid of other mechanical components like an optical drive.

I do think this is one area where Apple has had the right idea in terms of notebook design - by integrating the battery into the notebook's case you can get rid of all of the various internal structure needed to support a removable battery and just pack the internal structure with as many battery cells as you can. The optimal situation though would be to still make the battery itself easily accessible (as it was on the old aluminum unibody MacBooks).

I'd actually think that what the OP really wants is just a good GOGMix with games that are integrated graphics-friendly (or a list on the GOGWiki, since GOGMixes are still broken).

But aren't GOGMixes made by GOG users, not GOG themselves? I could be wrong, but I thought "you guys should advertise" was targeted to GOG, not the forum users.

Anyway, I personally still don't see that much point, considering how wildly different laptops can be. Pretty much all newer games, GOG or not, would probably run fine in e.g. Asus G75 laptop (or better), but I presume the laptop GOGmix maker would have some other idea of a "laptop". After all, future gaming laptops will easily beat the high-end gaming desktops of today. :)

But as you said, maybe people who have some less powerful laptops could indeed make GOGmixes of how GOG games run on their particular hardware. I could make similar for e.g. IBM ThinkPad T41, which is like a 10 years old non-gaming laptop. Gorky 17 and Dungeon Keeper 2 run great on it, by the way.
