Panasonic Let's Note series are very light, 600g or so, if you can find one. They generally have FHD matte 11-12" screens which are tall aspect ratio, not 16:9 like most modern laptops- good for reading. Inexpensive secondhand. Sometimes you can find them with English keyboards (Singapore) but mostly like mine they have Japanese 104-key layout, which is a little different, with extra keys and a small space bar. Keyboard is a bit 'clacky'. I got used to that, and the layout.. A little work with xmodmap adds things like page up/down, £/€ sign, and so on. I had to make a small patch to get touchpad scrolling to work, otherwise hardware support with 7.6 is 100% including suspend/resume, hotkeys and so on. Performance is fine with firefox etc. Mine is i5 7th gen. There are some Japanese vendors on eBay. -- Chris Billington
