Does anyone know of a ultra low power lightweight laptop. I am dreaming of someday working remotely while backpacking and would like a small laptop I could charge off solar panels.
- drkrieger00 10y agoChromebook is the first thing to pop into my head; small panel, battery and inverter would be be able to keep one charged no problem. I dunno how small you can go, but since most chromebook's AC adapters aren't more than 40w, should be able to find something that would fit in a backpack.

She said that they're terrific as long as you have internet access; as soon as you're offline they're holy pain in the ass. When I'm writing I want to be offline pretty often, either because I've gone someplace where there's no wifi or because I want to eliminate distractions. For simple word processing, will a Chromebook make my life difficult if I'm offline?
