Planning a 6 week trip to South America and want to take a
laptop/notebook with me, looking for recommendations from list
members with experience. First, is there a difference in the two or
is it just in the name.
Just a preference in what the poster wants to type
Need something durable that can take backpacking, hold a ton of
digital pics., wireless service (not familiar with wireless), email,
lightweight, compact and new or used is fine with me.
One issue is wireless services broadcast at different frequencies
from country to country so you'll need to check the specifics out for
the countries you're going to be versus the wireless NIC that comes
with the laptop. You may need to buy a wireless card in the country
that you're in. As far as email & internet stuff you'll need an ISP
unless you're planning on using Internet Cafe's or borrow someone
else's connection. Usually you're going to pay a premium for the
smaller lighter laptops as I did 5yrs ago when I got my Dell L400 but
I love mine so I'm sorry it's not for sale. ;-)
