Get a 2-in-1 Chromebook. Thin, light, cheap. If you want to use it as a tablet; fine. If you just have to have a laptop; open it all the way up. I happen to have one, and it works great as a tablet, but most often, I use it as a laptop. It runs almost everything Android, which are like miniature tablets these days.

If you need to run something more sophisticated, they also run Linux in a VM (container actually).

My wife is busy (for months) planning some travel for this fall.  She told me I am not taking my laptop.  Too big, too heavy etc etc.  (I actually left it on a train at Heathrow once, had enough time to go catch that same train and found it.)But I digress.
 
She says I can have an iPad.  I acquiesce due to the fact that she micro manages these trips and I don’t have to do a thing.  She likes it that way and I like it that way.  I just go where I am told to go and I pay.  She makes sure I have clean clothes and the proper tickets needed for travel as well as hotel rooms.  It is actually pretty wonderful.  She teams up with my UK son-in-law as he is like this too. 
 
But again, I digress.
 
I know almost zero about iPads.  I need a human size keyboard.  Hopefully one with keys that physically move.  I would like to be able to plug in an HDMI monitor too.  Mouse?
 
Dear Borg, what are my options?
