Default Laptop recomendations

Hi all,
After our last tour my wife and I are thinking about taking a laptop on tour but there are so many out there we do not know where to start. We are mainly concerned about road vibrations, as we've heard it can play havoc on those delicate machines. Also weight could be an issue because I've seen a couple that weight over 4kgs
We're thinking of using it to keep maps, photos, write journals, a couple films "optional" (for those rainy days traped in the tent), internet, etc...
Has anyone out there been using one that they can recomend?
cheers

This one looks interesting, small, solid state and inexpensive.

Panasonic Toughbook RNB 100 Convertible.
Strong, relatively light, low power requirements, built in 10/100 & wireless.
GPS option is nice too.
I have used it on trips with good results.
