Libretto 100CT
Perhaps it's a bit to old and small for the most of us. But I use a Libretto 100CT. Price: Euro 200.
(Click to enlarge)
It has only a small screen, but good enough for me to use Garmin Mapsource and download the tracks each day. The size is about a VHS cassette. Runs really well! And scheap to replace when gets stolen or broken.

I took a libretto 110CT with meto morocco just for downloading tracklogs and picturesand doing some write ups. Weighs about 1100 grams and does the job. It's been through some very rough terrain and is still going strong. I paid 80 EUR for it.

Toshiba know how?
I got a Portege by Toshiba, ex corporate, 18 mnths old, 12" screen, 60Gb HD, blah, blah, blah. ebay, £250 + tax
Toshiba have used the experience gained from the Toughbook range to make this little baby, and with enough dubries to plug almost anything you want into it, including an SD card slot. The DVD Disk drive pops out to accept a second battery if you want, extending the 4hr standard stand alone time to over 6 hrs I think, (not used it yet.)
With infra red and wireless built in + bluetooth dongle it talkes to my cell phone and just about everything else I want it for. My camera, video and cell phone also use sd cards so that makes for easy transfer without messy cables. I notice that the wireless modem picks up next doors wi-fi set up, but haven't tried to route it through yet  , but one of these days temptation is gonna get the better of me
When I ride, it, and my camelback, go in a small rucksack as your body absorbes a lot of vibrations and at less than 2kg is no problem.
IMHO the hinge to the screen looks a weak point on most laptops, the portege p4010 looks stronger than most, and I shyed away from the one with the swivel screen for this reason.
I guess you make your choice and stay with it until it proves not to be what you thought it was, such is life.

Membership - help keep us going!
Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.
You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
