I like light machines too. My favourite right now is the Pixel (book) slate. It's light, battery life is fine, screen is great and can run Android and Linux apps. I spend most time in chrome, but often switch to Emacs and SSH into other machines. The keyboard is the weakest part, but I got used to it and started to even like it. The key movement is pleasant and it's very quiet.
