Hi, I am going to be going on a fairly long trip around most of Asia pretty soon. I have no idea how long it will take me and will be running a small internet business while I am away to keep my funds from running out. It could last 6 months or 6 years, not sure yet.

I will only be using it for web browsing, spreadsheets and movie watching so it doesn't need to be ultra powerful. Something small and lightweight would be best but I understand the smaller you go, generally the higher the price. I am on a bit of a budget and do not want to spend more then 400 UKBP. Any recommendations? What's my best bang for my buck option? I don't mind going 2nd hand. Maybe my best option is to buy an old series Thinkpad and put some kind of light OS on it to surf the internet? Thinking about it, I don't even need word, excel, etc, as I could just use google documents.

PS I am in Korea now which means I should get more laptop for my money here :)

A Windows-based Eee-PC may be worth a look - very small and light, not expensive, and not really very much inside them to go wrong.
