My kit that I take to hackathons is a B&N Nook Tablet together with a very cheap Bluetooth mouse and keyboard. I spin up a server in AWS and use it like the VT100 terminal I used to use years and years ago, or I use Remote Desktop to talk to a Windows machine.

Everybody and his sister has a Mac so this is something that turns heads and has had a sticker on it for a few years.

My "new" Nexus 7 is better in most respects except that the WiFi is not stable when Bluetooth is turned on.

Last time I went to NYC with my desktop replacement laptop in an overloaded book bag I twisted my ankle (I am soaking it an an ice bucket right now) and I am definitely thinking of a lightweight kit for business travel.
