I would like to add my Samsung Galaxy Book 10 to the list of suggestions.
OK it has a chiclet keyboard but it's not too bad, the screen (2K) is amazing and the sound is too.
I have added a fast 64 GB microSD card to have a bit more storage.
The charger is no bigger than my phone charger so it's easy to pack & tote.

Your response triggered a question I have had percolating (semi related : Percolatin' Blues) in the back of my mind for a while: don't Chromebooks need a constant network connection to get anything done? I could live with that at home, but what about on the road, plane, car or what have you?
A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, navigate a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects! - Lazarus Long

Holiday laptop???????? 
Holiday is for relaxing, recharging your battery.
Take a good book. (or a tablet with a number of books and some games)
I stay away from computers or other technology during my holiday

I use a Microsoft Surface Pro for my bring everywhere with me computer. It is so light I hardly know I'm carrying it. And the display is wonderful!
They have a pretty wide range of models so you should be able to find the balance between speed, storage and and cost you like. If you do get one with low storage to save money, you can expand the storage with a micro-SD card.
It will of course fulfill your tablet use, simply tear off the keyboard, or fold it behind (you do have pay extra for the keyboard and pen though).

In lacking direction in basic instincts acts like Neanderthal (7)

as in Micheal, acts like a Neanderthal lacking direction, and was in basic instinct.

No, no - that's Nicolas Cage, and he wasn't in it. Thankfully.
Mind you, "Nicolas" has seven letters ...

Surely the lacking direction is applicable to all actors, hence the need to have a director

True - and Cage is not only lacking "direction", he also lacks many, many other things. Talent for example. A high velocity baseball bat between his eyes. Acting ability. That kind of thing.

I wondered that, but I couldn't make it fit anything except "Neanderthal".

I know, I think basic instinct ( as in the film ) is a red herring

I'm pretty sure it's nothing to do with the movie (if it were, Sharon STONE would be the likely angle) but I suspect it's either:
1) A synonym of reflex with n/e/s/w removed.
2) A synonym of reflex with west removed.
3) A synonym of reflex with "ni" inserted.
For the literal, I've so far got gathers and forages for "acts like Neanderthal" but neither fit the wordplay ...
In other words: I is stuck.

How does "lacking direction" part comes into the solution? I thought it was an exclusion/deletion indicator or anagram.
|
|

Lacking direction is often just the removal of a compass point, so you could have something like "Winter lacking direction = winter - W(est) = inter" or "Guard lacking direction = sentry - S(outh) = entry".
Could also be a non-cardinal point like SE (South East), NE (North East) etc. or in some cases the full word (north/south/east/west).

By that logic could it also be
In lacking direction means I, i.e. remove N(orth) from In.
This would make the puzzle: I in basic instincts acts like neanderthals.
Either add I to the synonym of instinct
OR
Neanderthals being extinct; remove I from Basic Instincts itself or a synonym?
I come up with this version simply because the first 'In' seems redundant somehow. Simply Lacking direction would've been good enough to convey the point about compass directions.
