One of my favorite mobile tools is a Lenovo X120E (a business class 11.7" netbook, with a step up in CPU versus Atoms) that has a SSD drive in place of the usual hard drive. For writing it tends to be as snappy as a regular laptop and has 7-odd hour battery life with screen brightness as low as I can use. I have never been happy with 10" Atom-CPU netbooks (I used a MSI Wind series before the Lenovo).

I'm experimenting with an iPad and Logitech "ultraslim keyboard cover." That cover has really nice key action, the combined package is maybe a pound lighter than the Lenovo, and battery life is over 10 hours. Screen space is tight though. Fine for just writing (e.g. in Pages or Outline+) but would not be so good for anything using concurrent multi-windows like Scrivener (which has no date for iPad yet) or my usual desktop combination of Word & OneNote.
