To avoid the whole blowing up motherboards and spontaneous combustion of other parts, why not settle for a nice iBook SE 466mhz.
As much as I like the clam shell iMacs stylistically there is the slight problem that it comes in at 3.1 KG v's the snow's 2.2 KG
dimension wise the clams are 2 cm longer and taller and a massive 11 cm deeper (front to back)
As a lot of my traveling is me with hiking boots and a backpack (with in which a laptop will have to share space with a tent, sleeping bag, a weeks worth of cloths and food and a camp stove) walking..., and the rest is Japanese commuter rail & hitch hiking so minimizing weight and dimensions is critical.
