Avoid at all costs Celeron N28xx based laptops, the processor is dreadful.

You may want to keep the mifi plugged into the USB port anyway, at least some of the time, to keep its battery charged.

Or get a mains charger.

Personally, I've got a USB cable and a mains to USB plug PSU.

That way, if necessary, I can plug the USB cable into a USB to cigarette lighter adapter, and use the MIFI in a vehicle.

As for the network, I'm with 3, and I find the connection very stable, and my signal very good, although signal strength is obviously going to depend on your location.

You could always get a lightweight laptop and a separate DVD writer.

That's what I've got. A nice little 10.1" Medion Akoya 1317T, and a Liteon USB DVD writer.
