My T21 fits most of your criteria, however...

I'd be surprised if any battery powerecd machine can run a DVD spindle
for 90 minutes.  Power savings usually means slowing down non-essential
systems (like the CPU when it's twiddling it's thumbs waiting for
keyboard input, etc).  I may be out of date, but running that motor that
long may still be beyond any batteries we can buy and carry.
