I have had a lot of laptops living in the jungle. i need it to work. we have internet and i use it to organize things abroad. I have managed to kill a lot of different ones from sony, to hp, to acer to apple i pad which does not have such a long battery as they maintian. the price and the battery length made the descision. needing to purchase a new one every 11 months or so, i do not want to invest a lot in one. the humidty kills them sooner than later and this is in no warrenty. I also have to admit i am not really careful with it. it has proven to be extremely robust i can fully agree.

If you're going to be kind of near cities where the internet is easy to get to, then yes, the laptop will benefit. But if you're spending you're entire time taking the backcountry, trekking or doing activities in outskirts, then one might reconsider. But, its not only for entertainment, its good for storing photographs, and like Skylab, updating the blog. It all depends the nature of your trip.
