Any laptop will go on a boat. No laptop is very bulky.

Get a cheap attache case, & foam to line it with, to keep the machine in
if you seriously expect the laptop to take extreme pounding. Get a big
plastic waterproofing bag to put the attache case in. On the boat, store
the thing such that it doesn't get tossed around.

By extreme pounding I mean really extreme; many g's. The kind of stuff
one experiences in very high speed offshore racing, where crew is belted
and helmeted. Laptops are inherently rather rugged; a manufacturer
would have to be suicidal to sell one that needed repair every time it
was dropped or bumped a lamp post.
