Alan, aah! That has been my quest as well................."losing" the laptop. However, you might want to mitigate the risk/consequences of losing of your N800 while you experience the "mind fog" of jet lag by taking that laptop along as a backup. On the other hand if money is not an issue you could purchase a second N800 as a backup and keep it in a separate location. I did a similar work related experiment a few months ago (i.e. bringing to/using at the work site an N800 in lieu of a laptop to perform equipment config work) and the experiment was a success.
