Small Travel Laptop recommendation?

So you can use a 15.6" laptop on a plane? You fly premium class? You're much more agile than me.

Nope. Coach. Fold it into a tablet as an e-reader and it's a good size. I'm not watching movies on it. And again, they do offer a 13.

Surface Go is a reasonable choice.

If a new in box/refurb Samsung Galaxy Tab S Gold is available that’s a good choice as well. Discontinued but OLED screen, 8GB RAM and 256GB SSD. Enough grunt for typical tasks and great screen for movies.

I hauled my 17" all over the country.

Now that's either courage, or someone who likes exercize! Do you use it on a coach class seat table? I struggle enough with my small machine.

Yeah, coach. Not an easy thing, but I needed the size for work. Actually, a pain in the patootie. Now it's cell phone and tablet. Laptop stays home.

I have a HP15 for about 3 or 4 years now, less than 300 bucks. I would suggest it's nice compromise between something really small like a surface and full sized laptop.

Lenovo Think Pads....I will NOT buy a computer without a pointing stick for travel use. No mouse ever needed and much, much easier and accurate than a trackpad.

I buy them used for about $300 refurb. Never had any problems. Have several that are still running after eight years.
