Another option is to take a cheap windows 8 tablet and put a keyboard on it

Acer ES1 series, hands down. Best build quality, and if you can find one with a N3540 you've got very good performance too. If you need it only for the most basic things, a chromebook may not be a bad idea though.

I have a HP stream 14-z001na (http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/331712-hp-stream-14-z001na/) which has 6.3 hours of quoted battery life, beets audio and will play some indie/old games with its R3 graphics. It does have a 768:1366 screen though.
