Finally, there’s the ASUS Transformer Book Chi, a laptop that also becomes a tablet when you need it to. It’s just $279 at the Microsoft Store.

You don’t flip the Asus Transformer Book Chi’s display around to turn it into a tablet. Instead, you detach the 10.1-inch HD screen from the keyboard deck. Inside is an Intel Atom Z3795 processor, 4GB of RAM and 128GB of storage for pictures, music and video. There’s a rear-facing web camera, a Micro USB 3.0 port, a Micro USB 2.0 port, a micro-HDMI port and a headphone jack. You can add more storage through a MicroSD card slot that’s built into the tablet. Together, the two halves of the Asus Transformer Book Chi last 10 hours on a single charge.

    You should also take a look at refurbished options. I managed to find a Windows 10 Dell Laptop with a Core i5 CPU, 128 gigabytes of SSD storage, and 8 gigs of RAM for less than $300 which I think is a great buy.
