Have you thought about a tablet? While not as cheap as bottom end lap tops, you get something that just works. It has gotten to the point that my lap top might get used maybe evety couple of weeks. My tablet does 95% of what I want. Besides both Android and Apple IOS see far less problems
"Tablets" make for a horrible PC and to get one with a big enough usable display you will end up paying considerably MORE than if you bought a real laptop..
Not to mention to do real work on a tablet you would still need to add a keyboard AND mouse.. with tablets you are often very limited on ports, most only have ONE USB port and no external monitor port not to mention only a WiFi connection (no wired ethernet connection)..
Tablets also have very limited on board storage capacity (16, 32 gig), no hopes for added memory or even upgrading the built in storage..
While you can get tablets in Quad core processors, they are often hobbled to very low speeds (1-1.2 ghz) and only a few have Intel Atom mobile processors.. Most use ARM processors and use Android OS which severely limits you to finding and buying "Apps" from Google Play or Amazon store and all the Windows software you currently own will not load or work on a tablet..
