learn to read DuhDang.
!LittleDragon, I had all the information stored on my ipad already. Also I had this cool offline map app.
If you want to travel ultra light. ipad is the way to go. I had one 14lb backpack for the trip. netbook would have added an extra 1.5lbs.

Of course it isn't a laptop replacement. But it helped me get by 14 days without laptop.
