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
