For life on the road staying connected to the Internet is important to me.
At the moment I'm still using my trusty old Toshiba Portege R100 netbook which I think draws about 35 watts of power. I'd like to improve on this if I can but I must admit all of this new fangled technology frightens the dickens out of me.
Things which are important to me are a full size keyboard.
The lowest power consumption possible. (Using solar power - 3 x 80 watt solar panels).
The ability to watch Youtube videos without constant buffering which drives me mental.
A USB dongle connection (or other Internet connectivity solution which is fast, reliable and works across Europe even in remote areas - a big ask I know so this is less important as I can always drive closer to a village or town if needs be). I've got a 12GB 3 (Three) 3G dongle here.
A fast little blighter that doesn't drive me up the wall waiting for applications to load all the time.
Must have at least 1 or 2 USB ports.
I don't mind older wotsits/devices just so long as it gets the job done and quickly and isn't going to wheeze and cough the second I start putting it under some stress, for example, if I'm storing lots of photos on the device.
What are my options please?
Please keep your language ever so simple to understand (cos I'm an idiot with all things technical and if you start getting too technical on me, your words will just fly straight over the top of my forehead which will be about as much use as a knitted condom).
Cheers!
