Watch out though. Some of the Baytrail netbooks are unfun for a variety of reasons with Linux. (Also with Windows). One of the longest threads on the Ubuntu forums is people trying to get Linux to run on an Asus X205TA.

Yeah I had a similar experience with a dell convertable with a baytrail low end quad core. An expensive coaster expect for the most basic kinds of tasks but if linux were running stable it would be a usable machine.
