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.
