Especially in the winter, when they double as space heaters. Or maybe you could put a flap in the case, so it be used as a toaster oven :-)
I work on an IBM Thinkpad laptop, which (running just the internal display) draws about 17 watts in just-editing-code mode. The larger external display I use probably bumps that up a few watts, but still, even running (seriously compute-intensive) tests just gets me to the 30-40 watt range.
