That's a debate I've had with nextgens many times - he doesn't want me to 
implement download resuming for example.

If the laptop is going to be regularly on battery power and connected via 
wifi, there is little point in having a node installed at all. However since 
so many laptops are used as desktop replacements, there may be some merit in 
detecting that we are on battery and shouting at the user when they try to 
access Freenet...
