I paid $118.33, shipped for this, which is barely more than I paid for just the Windows 7 Home Premium upgrade for my Thinkpad T60. This comes with Windows 10 preloaded.

RCA Cambio 10.1" 2-in-1 Tablet 32GB Intel Quad Core Windows 10 Black Touchscreen Laptop Computer with Bluetooth and WIFI

Price looks like it's maybe jumped since I bought it 24 hours ago. My price was ~$126 + $4.49 shipping and I paid with my Chase Freedom card with 10% discount on Amazon orders until Dec. 31. Amazon's supplier for this was "rcatablets"

This is low end in terms of hardware (1.33-1.8GHz Intel Atom quadcore CPU), and 32GB flash storage, 2GB RAM, but apparently (according to reviews) it is rather snappy for browsing, videos and even games (WoW at low settings giving 30-40fps, I saw reported).

I'm not a gamer, but think I will like this. I needed a small form factor Windows PC (there is an Android version of this running Lollipop). The well-reviewed detachable keyboard is something I expect I'll appreciate. Weighs 2.1 lb. Here's a review that helped me decide:

A little OT, maybe:

I generally use Palemoon browser on my machines but think I should maybe use something else on this RAM strangled machine. I regularly have to crash my browser because I run out of RAM (none of my current machines have over 4GB RAM), so a browser with minimal footprint is what makes sense for this machine, I figure. Can I get a recommendation?
