I don't like carrying things when traveling, so I have tried different mobile offices over the years which can definitely be considered low-end practical/productive setups:
- around 2005; HP Ipaq pocket pc + Zaurus C860 with network adapter; I did all my document writing, programming, server admin, online buying/selling on the combi of these two; very light to travel. Pretty perfect even for quite long times on the road
The Zaurus I used until 2010 around; I still have it and it still works perfectly.
- around 2011; OpenPandora + iPhone, same setup as the above but more powerful ; still as portable; on the Pandora I could/can do mostly anything I need to do for work; php/ruby/c#.net/python/haskell/lua. The Pandora battery can be swapped, so I carried 2 extras which means a week of work while weighing absolutely nothing...
- around 2018-now; GPD pocket 1 + iPhone and it's x86 while having very good battery life with debian/i3wm, so same as above but with a lot more freedom. It's far less repear-able though than the Pandora and the Pocket 2 is really not as good (I sold it; it was annoying to work with compared).
