Hey /g/, first time poster here.

I'm looking for a specific kind of laptop.

Basically an ultra-simple notebook whose sole use is to work on one document (a book I'm writing that is structured hierarchically, mostly just plain text). I also need USB or another way to occasionally transfer data in/out of the PC, and a way to encrypt the document. Nothing else. I will not be browsing the web, listening to audio, watching videos, playing physical media etc.

Here are my goals, in order:
- Lightweight and portable, since I will be traveling extensively with it
- Screen big enough to compose a document with an outline pane on the left and composition pane on the right.
- Good battery life
- Fast boot
- Cheap
- Fingerprint authentication would be kinda cool, but not essential.

I want to achieve the above by eliminating anything that isn't absolutely necessary.

What I DON'T need:
>Optical drive
>Any networking technology, not even a network card (but hmm, I need a way to get MS Word on there initially)
>Advanced graphics
>Multimedia
>Other things I won't be using, like hard drive space beyond several GB, a lot of RAM, webcam, etc.
>I don't even need the OS to have a desktop environment, as long as I can easily launch my word processing application from the command line.

I prefer to use MS Word on Windows but I am open to Linux since I could use KeepNote or CherryTree, which also would allow me to compose a large, hierarchical document. I do not want to use a plain text editor since I need to easily navigate & manage the document hierarchy.
