This one http://laptop.com.au/product_info.php/products_id/32?osCsid=b4adeb1d49d7928679893328c508d971 is only $500 & has a 2.4 Khz processor (fast processing) but has only a 40 gig hard drive (storage capacity). I would suggest that you go for a fast processor speed & at least 120 gig hard drive. You should some thing good for less than $1000. Acer, Asus, etc are proven quality brands. You can run into a trap with some other barnds like Dell etc. as they have a lower end model that is not as good.

Good luck on your trip & keep safe. Good hunting!
