The phone/tablet+keyboard peripheral option is an interesting one. I guess the only downside is that you would be running Android OS so software could be limited. Mouse/touchpad support might also be awkward too, considering touch screen is the default interface.

I recently bought a backup laptop, but was briefly considering just getting an 11" netbook. You can find refurbished 11" Chromebooks on Amazon for like $50. Was thinking of getting one of those, wiping ChromeOS and installing a lightweight Linux distro. Hardware should be sufficient to run smoothly, 2.5 pounds, and has built in keyboard+touchpad. Does an 11.5" x 8" x 0.8" slab fit comfortably in a maid apron? I have no clue.
