Bootable thumb drive
I created a bootable USB stick and have loaded all my utility software onto it. I then boot the Macintosh from that by holding down the Option key during startup and selecting the USB drive as the startup drive. This gives me more portability than a laptop, but perhaps not as much capability.

I've used this for some time, and it works well in my situation.
