Cheap travel laptop for backing up?

[DailyHack]

I do alot of travelling around with my camera and gear for work and find backing up images a real pain, in terms of logistics and reliability, and not wanting to leave sometimes 100's of gigabytes of imagery on my CF cards/SD cards, I would need to back them up.

In the past I have used my iPad to do this, with few additions, but soon fills ups so not ideal, and being an non apple more PC convert, find this tedious.

So my thoughts are a cheap/travel friendly small <£100 laptop (not headless) as I am aware you can do this without a screen, but would be good to just quickly review my photos.

Any suggestions would be great.

Just got one of these the other week for about £85 when on offer

It was easy to upgrade the SSD to 240gb and performs far better than I expected.

A lovely HD screen, great keyboard and a feel of a much more expensive machine.

Did you add the SSD for storage only and keep the OS on the eMMC, or move the OS to the SSD and make the SSD the boot device?

I made the 240gb drive the primary drive, cloning the original to the larger one.

Another vote for an old laptop and an SSD. Mine's stripped down with just the operating system on it.

I got a freebie Chromebook with my new phone. Added a 512 SD card and it works a treat.

Cheers for all this, I looked at the CODA's aswell on EBuyer, that one isnt on offer, now it only has the smaller ghz system there.
