I too would recommend the compaqs. We've had no trouble with several 386 and 486 Contura models over three years of constant travel and use in the US, Peru and Nepal. I can't speak to the heat and humidity issues of lowland climates, but for the rough travel conditions of mountain areas, these machines have held up well. Look for a solid steel hinge pin. Enjoy your work,--John
