thats a new one. comes with Windows too! great deal.

I have a Toshiba Encore 2 10 tablet. But i find it too cumbersome to use, the key board is weird and takes up half the screen in landscape mode. And it feels slow. I think I would like to avoid Atom tablets just for performance aspects

I definitely wouldn't replace my Macbook Pro 15" with one.

I feel it's one of those items where it makes sense at the right price. At less than $100 it's barely disposable. And you go in expecting a cheap computer. At $200, why would I get that vs. a $200 Acer laptop at Best Buy? (And I don't want a $200 Acer laptop either) At $300, I might as well put it towards a better main computer.

What this has been useful for is those times when I just needed a Windows computer for testing in Edge, etc. But it might also be a gateway drug to deciding if I want to get a Surface for my main computer.
