Recently one of my friends won a permit to raft down the Grand Canyon for 21 days, I’m going along rowing one of the boats.
I want to find a cheap little laptop, that is at least semi waterproof / rugged so I can put Linux on it and get data from some of the sensors im bringing (spectrometer, ph, etc), plus do a little programming in the evenings.
It really doesn’t need to be powerful, i would just bring my MacBook but I don’t want to break something expensive.
Secondary objectives are at least reasonable battery life, but not too much of an issue with the solar and batteries we’re bringing.
Have you considered not bringing a laptop with you. I know that it sounds daunting but consider giving it a try just to see how it may affect your trip not to have access to electronics
