To be fair, this isn't exactly a laptop. It's more of a luggable.

They're also notorious for being completely dependent on their batteries to even start up. It's rare to see a working one today because of that.

should be pretty easy to get a wall-wart for power, unless there's some sort of logic going back and forth between the battery and the computer (which I doubt, these likely being nicd or nimh given the age)
