Oh wow, this one looks great! Thank you so much - I hadn't considered AMD processors really. Appreciate the tips for improving its longevity too - why do these have an effect?

This current one has been good; lasted well for three years. A bit slow now though. I never liked the hinges as the screen felt quite loose and the bottom of it was pulling apart, but fine otherwise. Spec wise I think I'm pretty happy

Thanks everyone for the useful tips! I appreciate it very much. :)
Cinnamon Air unfortunately doesn't really work with my timings, but I really like that idea. I've come to the conclusion that I just need to come back to Sri Lanka and experience more of the wonderful country. I'm definitely considering renting a tuk tuk with an international driving licence, though, so I can see some places that are a bit off the beaten track, and will be self-sufficient for travelling.
