Later this year I will be travelling to South Africa, Botswana, and Namibia.
This will be a five week camping trip (rooftop tent on a 4X4) in various game parks and reserves.
Most of the time there will be no access to mains power.
I am looking a small, light notebook/ultrabook that can run Lightroom 4.x (possibly 5.x will be available by then - who knows).
I will not be looking to do mission critical image editing.
Most of the work will be importing images, keywording and metadata acquisition.
Other important criteria include the ability to charge the system from a 12V power source (predominantly the vehicle in which we will be travelling).
It is possible that the only option will be an apparently "universal" 12V charger but I have already found Asus ultrabook models that are not compatible with these types of chargers.
Weight considerations make taking a transformer a major pain.
I would appreciate any recommendations/suggestions.
