For those who still have a netbook-class device laying around, Debian GNU/Linux still works quite well on those, better than Lubuntu in fact. (Of course in most cases you're limited to the i386 branch due to lack of amd64 support in hardware.) With 1GB RAM or more, you can even do some light web browsing in current versions of Firefox.
(Today there are cheap ultrabook-class laptops from Chinese OEMs that are broadly similar in some ways, perhaps even more solidly built with metal frames - but the Linux support is very hit-and-miss, and there's essentially zero reliability in the longer run. You might be better off buying a cheap refurbished ultrabook that's from a well-known brand and with verified Linux support.)
