I'm thinking about an extended trip next summer that would include posting from the road. What's the best computer to take along? I'm weighing the MacBook Air against a plain old MacBook -- the advantages of an Air being light weight (3 lbs vs. 4.5 lbs minimum) and a solid-state drive (no moving parts, therefore less chance of losing data from jarring of the hard drive). The big disadvantage, as far as I can see, is the minimal number of ports -- only one USB 2.0 port, which would mainly matter pre and post trip. What are y'all's experiences/opinions pro and con?
Are there alternatives to taking a computer along? Advantages/disadvantages?
