Head up, there's currently a laptop flash-sale (rotating deal-of-the-minute items) going on at Cowboom (returns and refurbs outlet for Best Buy). There's an Toshiba 11.6" Celeron N2840 + 2GB + 32GB Touch Screen netbook that keeps popping up at $120 that, despite being pretty low on power, might be right for some given the price. AC adapter isn't included, so factor another $20 or so for a universal and likely another $10-$30 for an SD card to expand the storage. This is probably the absolute bare minimum of what I'd consider usable for Windows 10, and even then just basic web/email/office... it's pretty much the performance equivalent of a low-end Atom-based tablet in netbook form-factor. If all of the hardware is supported, this might actually be an ideal platform for RemixOS.
