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

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.

ummm...for one it keeps fetching my mail even though i have it set to manual. it keeps showing that i have new email, but more often than not it's an email from "No Sender" with no subject, no content and the date is 12/31/69. it won't let me click on it to open or just delete it. it's also not always deleting an email when i tell it to. i'm beginning to wonder if i just need to delete my email settings and start from scratch.

I have to admit the one laptop per child makes sense. I considered getting one myself, but was able to get a netbook for the same price, more power, and battery life was not as big a consideration since I don't travel where there is not electricity. Not a camper at heart. But for something like the Amazon it really does seem perfect.
