I am using it to write this comment. It is GPS enabled, it is dustproof, water resistant, has a magnisium body; if you drop it by accident, It even has a touch screen. Also having swappable media, battery, and hard drive bays. I got this one on ebay for 1100 dollars. All you really need for a internet connection; is either a WIFI connection, phoneline, ethernet(RJ-45) or buy/rent a mobile satellite system if you really need a highspeed connection. This is the perfect survival Laptop. I found that the best survival Laptops the Panasonic toughbook. I am using it to write this comment.

I think an E-Ink reader would be better, they last much longer and can store lots of information. They can only show black-and-white images, but the battery can last for weeks.

And I agree the the linux models, they are just as easy to use as a windows machine and some of them are about $100 cheaper.

The newer Atom chips are great in these devices, much better power. If you don't need too much size, go for the SSD (Solid State Device) Drives. They use less power, and aren't so prone to breaking due to getting jostled around, or a little bit of dust. Also, many of them offer in a lower priced model a linux based OS. Don't be afraid to try this. On our blog that's a 'future' post coming from us geeks, about why preppers and survivalists really need to use things other than windows. But hey, I'll post that on mine :) In summary, here's another vote for a netbook for you EDC/BOB/etc. Netbooks are great devices, and this new second generation has a lot of promise, new manufacturers, newer technology, much better screens.
