Actually, it might be cheaper to buy one computer and 3 or 4 spare batteries... Buy 2 MacBooks, make sure they're full charged, and then swap between them when one runs out of juice.

Back when I lived in Raleigh, NC, one inch of icefall resulted in my entire neighborhood being powerless for 7 days (not that I was counting), and the most painful aspect of it all was having precisely nothing to do after the sun went down. Even books were hard to read by candlelight, so after the first couple of days, I gave up, going to sleep in my -15 degree sleeping bag on top of my bed at around 7:30 each night, shortly after I'd used my campstove on the patio to boil water for ramen noodles. Good times, good times. Well, at least the power outage is 1) scheduled, and 2) during daytime hours.
