The only truly ultralight netbook I've seen is the macbook air, but it doesn't seem to he anything special performance wise and the asking price is 1,000. There are those new Chrome books which use cloud technology to store data and whatnot but then you need an internet connection just to save your data (I think it comes with a 16gb SSD but you want to keep usage of the read write cycles on those to a minimum.). Really unless you can find some secret to tablets that makes blogging on them a lot easier. You may as well accept the extra weight and go with a standard netbook. Just make sure you do a lot if research before buying, the last thing you need is to have it just give up on you mid tour.
