    What is the most powerful computer that can feasibly run off of two (or four, at most eight) AA batteries?

    I've considered getting a Game Boy Advance or Wonderswan so I can play those games in their intended environment: but I'd prefer something that's more general purpose, complete with a keyboard.

    As for battery life, I'd expect the thing to last at least 4 hours.

        yeah 18650 cells are also rods.
        Already heard of it, seems to be one of the few Raspberry Pi things I might actually bother with.
