Computer
The Averatec laptop we used for the Alaska Trip, Middle East Trip and Eastern Europe Trip did work excellent. It has been through a lot and it shows. For the Africa Trip we upgraded to the Panasonic Toughbook Y5 with an additional 120GB external harddrive. As technology advance we yet again upgraded to the newest Panasonic Toughbook F8 with an additional 500GB external harddrive.
