laptops - mobile office - overheating

I'm looking into making my office 100% mobile. At present I use 4 pcs but could manage on 3 at a push. I'm going to be travelling in some developing nations, looking into property and franchises. I'd like to be able to take my office with me and have it operate at the same level. Am also going to be having lessons from one of our posters here and I dont want my travelling to interfere.

A couple of my desktop pcs operate 24/7. I turn them off for about 20 mins a day. So my question is can you do this with laptops? I've owned a couple of laptops in the past and they used to overheat very quickly. Would it be possible to leave then on over night?

Another question is about the kind of laptop I should look into. I'm not a billionaire (not poor either) and don't want to spend the earth. I figure if I buy 3 laptops at once I'll be able to be negotiate a good discount. Would something like this do the trick?
