Get yourself a used Dell D410, and upgrade the harddrive to 250-320gb,
(those are the largest capacity PATA drives available for laptops
AFAIK). The drive will probably cost you under $80, a refurbished
laptop should be well under $200. A good battery will give you 3 to 3
1/2 hours of battery life. The only other thing more you'll need to buy
is the usb to ATA connector to clone the OS from the original drive to
the replacement.

Those of you who travel a lot: How do you store your photos while on
long trips?
Next May I'll be spending some time in Australia with my company
(specifically, in Melbourne for roughly a week and a half), and then
I'm hoping to be able to take another week or two off for a bit of a
vacation while I'm down there.
My little Chromebook only has a 16gb drive, so that won't do. Nor will
my old Alienware laptop, which is effing massive and just way too
slow. I'm thinking I just need to get a small laptop with a big-ish
hard drive (say, 250gb+), or get one of those portable hard drives
with card slots you can dump stuff into (and take the Chromebook for
internet), but I'm really curious what frequent travellers think is
the best solution.
Thanks,
John

Don't lose heart! They might want to cut it out, and they'll want to avoid a
lengthily search.
