I've been working on an elderly 11" MacBook Air a bunch. Don't love the 16:9 screen ratio, and I've been spoiled by retina screens at work, but it's perfectly adequate for local development on small projects or to SSH into a server. And it weighs barely more than a tablet plus keyboard.

The 12" MacBook is probably perfect (even lighter, better screen), but a bit pricey for the use case. Maybe a secondhand one when the Air kicks the bucket.
