Have you looked at Chromebooks? You have Calc, Docs and Slides (compatible with Excel, Word, etc.).
It comes up online very quickly, never gets a virus or malware.
It works mostly online, but you can do work offline. All you documents are on the cloud, so you can get them anytime you want and you can get a previous version through the history tab.
If it breaks (or gets stolen), all you need to do is buy a new one and sign on! All your "stuff" is there.

They are mostly in the $200 range, but newer and pricier models allow apps that do many of the things a laptop can do.
