Ask HN: What's the best small, low-power laptop available today?

I'm really interested in a modern version of the Tandy Model 100/200 - Small and portable with a long battery life and usable performance to SSH into cloud machines. Any OS and ISA, but Linux compatible would be nice.

  I’ve seen these, but it seems like the battery life is rated to be pretty short - around 6 hours - and unlike USBC devices you can’t charge it from a car or a battery bank.

ThinkPad x270 can go a long time. Check the platform specifications.
