https://www.woot.com/ Today only, though it was on sale a week ago also. I bought one on the sale last week, and I've been playing around with it.

A4-6210 Quad-Core, 120GB Solid State Drive, 4GB DDR3, 802.11ac, Bluetooth, Win10Pro

Compared to other laptops or netbooks in it's price range, it has some pretty nice advantages.

-4GB RAM, upgradable to 8GB.
-120GB SSD, as opposed to the ridiculous tiny 32GB SSD most bargain priced laptops come with
-Windows 10 PROFESSIONAL
-The APU is actually respectable compared to the terrible Atom CPU some netbooks have
-All drivers are included in windows 10 or windows update, a minor point but if you just want something to play around with and wipe often this is a nice convenience factor
-"rugged" design, supposed to be durable and hard to break, YMMV

Drawbacks- the screen isn't IPS, is very basic poor quality LCD, no touchscreen. Speakers are meh. Battery life isn't phenomenal. Lenovo has some reputation issues re: the whole superfish thing, though as far as I can tell this device isn't tainted.

For $200, I don't think you could find a better laptop.
