I agree. We basically need to be able to continue to work even if internet line is down for a day, servers are down for a day, and even if electricity is down... So I guess I laptop battery will solve the electricity being down for at least a few hours as long as the users remember to charge the laptops over night. We currently use RDS and it's disasterous when we lose internet connect, electricity is down, or when the servers are down. 100 users are unable to do anything.

I agree with you that ChromeBooks would have been good if users were able to do there work from a browser, but unfortunately, that is not yet possible with the work we do.

If the majority of users are traditional work-at-the-office-same-desk-every-day workers, and all servers are in the same building, and most workers need Intranet instead of Internet (building instead of world network), then perhaps the better problem to address is the building electrical supply. It is possible to get a Tesla Powerwall or similar, a generator or several, UPSes for every user, etc. Unfortunately, those are expensive, complicated, and a much bigger problem than can be addressed properly in a Q&A site :(

I did think about UPSes, but thought they were too much. So we are settling for the few hours the users should be able to get from their laptops as long as they remember to charge them. Plus possibly have spare laptop charged batteries on standby too.
