One of those "one laptop per child" laptops maybe? Aren't those supposed to be going to Africa? You'd think they'd build them with good battery life and for heat...It wouldn't be very swanky, but...
Seriously, though, does she know any colleagues who are already down there/came back? They probably at least know what DOESN"T work.

Well there's this, should be good for 10-12 hours.
And then you could buy a couple of replacement batteries. [link]

Macbooks have good battery life, but I'm pretty sure you can't get replacement batteries.

Typo,
I think she should get a mac (macbook, macbook pro) and get a hypermac battery. I have one (one of the smaller sizes) and it is the BOMB. The largest one can fire up a mac for 2-3 days I think.

I have the Toshiba netbook, and its battery lasts 6-8 hours.

Seriously, though, the One Laptop Per Child laptops (looks like you might only be able to get them on eBay these days? but I didn't look that hard) are MEANT to be used in 120 degree conditions and high humidity and recharged using solar power, and so on. It wouldn't be all fancy and shit, but it would be a lot more likely to keep going, where an expensive macbook might corrode and overhead and die.

tiggy,
what email problems are you having? I had to completely redo my email settings because of Ios email settings.
I was using google for apps and the default setting was lock the device every minute. Well, I'm not having that, so I had to sync two email addresses separately from my calendar.
