Need a cheap field laptop

[Nova2000]

hi all .

i am  searching for a CHEAP laptop with a good battery like to take for star parties to run APT , stellerium etc.

minimum battery should be about 7 hrs at least. i kind of hate using an intervelometer and prefer APT as i can view images without moving my camera . it  also has many other tools. i MAY use ascom and phd if i get a chance to use the clubs rig which is very rare . i dont want the laptop to be too heavy also. 

i wont do image processing on it and will only store data (images) .

i hope i have provided sufficient info .

Morgans computers, look for a good refurb Lenovo and order a spare battery sorry just seen your in India, dont think they will ship to you

See if you can find a ASUS X205TA. 

Great little computer and should get close to the 7 hour life.

Failing that look for a good refurb unit.

Hi Rajesh

I think you'll have to give us a budget, because "cheap  laptop" means £50 used to me, whereas Billy thinks £350.

The Asus that Ken suggests seems to have an amazing battery life.
