Trio Pro-Book 10.1 2-in-1 Tablet
Trio Pro-Books have been featured by Shopko for a awhile so I took a chance on a 40% off $199 or $120
It looks like a poor man's Surface. Be wary it's actually a terrible tablet running the low power Atom, but I found that for the price it can do a lot if you buy a usb wifi adapter, and battery lasts longer and it is lighter than the original surface pro, though if you have money the Surface Go looks like what this thing tries to do. If you can use a terrible but cheap windows tablet, this might work for you.
The AC charger was junk, would not make reliable charger connection, I got a replacement for $5 at Five and Under, 2 amp chargers run $5 at Walmart too.
The wifi is junk too, I have 3 floors but it only works on 1st floor, barely on 2nd floor and not at all on 3rd floor when all my other computers and phones work.
Fortunately, there is one full-size USB port on the keyboard half, and put an EDUP wifi dongle with an antenna, and it seems to only give usable wifi performance with it stuck in.
It runs a Atom but the passmark is only about 1/10 a high end i7, and only about double the original Atoms that first showed up in netbooks.
I found that it is too slow for Chromecasting the Spectrum / Charter TV app, but it is fast enough to run the TV app on its own.
There is an even cheaper windows tablet without a keyboard.
