That's still not good enough because you will either have chipmunk arms (i.e. hands at chin level) or will have to bend forward to look at the screen.

There is a good selection of tenkeyless keyboards available that will fit in your laptop bag (get one with a microusb port rather than a fixed cable, as strain relief for a fixed-cable that's getting shoved in a bag is challenging).

Then you just elevate your laptop (stack it on books, bags, whatever you have handy; I keep a few textbooks on my desk at home for this) and put the keyboard on your lap if sitting, or bar if standing. I wouldn't call it perfect, but it's mobile, affordable, and way better than a laptop alone IMO.
