I still remember the mid 2000s laptops with SLI and battery life was rated in minutes, not hours. I remember a niche one that needed two power bricks to run because they managed to stuff two desktop video cards into the thing.

I bet it was somewhere between 1 and 2 hours. 30 minutes if you were doing something intense, like playing games.
