I have noted the posts about netbooks, and the various opinions are echoed by some folks I have spoken to: basically not up to the tasks that many may wish. Have also heard many concerns about failures / reliability (much worse than "real" laptops.) For many years I have had an Epson P2000, and found it to be excellent for my needs, which are very basic: reasonably light weight and compact on the road storage, with at least a basic viewing capability. I have no interest in doing any image editing in the field. However, the (old) P2000 was / is quite slow, and while it can accept .cr2 RAW files, it cannot zoom into them for somewhat critical viewing. But now its major drawback for me is that it can't accept .rw2 RAW files from Panasonic's micro 4/3 cameras. I thought therefore that, despite being rather pricey, I would invest in a more modern (and higher capacity) Epson unit (P6000.) However, I was stunned to discover that even the new units do not accept .rw2 RAW files: the Epson web-site is quite clear on this point, so that option is out. So, my query: what are other folks doing "on the road" in wilderness areas other than lugging along a real laptop or taking a fistful of memory cards and hoping they don't get lost?
