I've never seen or touched one of these so I cannot attest to the
qualities of the actual device.
<http://www.ebay.ca/itm/eduGear-11-6-Tablet-With-Keyboard-Intel-Core-i3-128GB-SSD-4GB-BT-Win-10Pro-/322479819300>
- sale ends in 20 hours
- $249.99 + tax, free shipping. Netbook price, but better
- low power Haswell Intel i3 processor. Still takes a lot of power for a
tablet, but pretty good for an i3. Introduced 4 years ago.
- only 1266x768 resolution, but on 11.6" notebook that's OK (we expect
more of tablets)
- Comes with Win 10 pro and MS Office 2016, which is worth something to
somebody.
- eduGear seems to be a local Markham company targetting education. Same
address as CDI (I saw it every time I went to the IBM lab a couple of
weeks ago).
- IPS screen (good)
- USB 3 (good)
- 4G RAM (not bad)
- 128G SSD (nice)
- Supports 802.11ac (good)
- beware: the keyboard or its attachment may be annoying
