You can get a medium end pc laptop for 600$ as my roommate did recently. 17" screen and plays fallout 3 very nicely. I've measured the power consumption on his while watching a dvd at 20 watts. This was with the brightness of the screen all the way up and the speakers on full. An entire day if it running is around 0.5kwh

I know ... it would really suck because you would still have to buy Windows so you could play your game on your non Windows system.

( What's the point ? )

Can you find out what the model of your friends laptop is ? What are his sytem specs ?

20 watts is fantastic ! My tiny 12" Toshiba M200 is using 23 watts + 7 watts for the modem just to type this out.
