They're actually watching the DVD demo movie the notebooks are playing.
It is certainly powerful enough to run office suite applications such as word processing, spreadsheets and presentations, e-mail, instant messaging, Internet access for surfing and blogging, playing a few tunes and watching a DVD in flight (the battery will get you across America, if not an ocean).
