Something like an OmniBook 300, but smaller?

It came with Windows 8 on it and really wasn't that useful. Then I upgraded it to windows 10 and it works great. The one I got has 32gb drive and 2gb memory. It has a microSD slot, so I have a large card there and plenty of storage. Full size USB is also nice. I paid $100 for it last year. Don't know if you have a MicroCenter in your area or not. They seem to offer the WinBooks on a random basis - I guess whenever they get a shipment.

Since I have a Android Phone, I much prefer the Nexus 7 over the Winbook for things like email, calendar, web surfing, Kindle book reading, etc.

I use the WinBook for Windows desktop programs that won't run on Android.

The nearest Microcenter (Madison Heights, MI) is about a 2-hour drive from where I live, so I don't get a chance to go there nearly as often as I'd like. Though it's probably better for my financial stability in the long run.

I like Android, and it's a decent OS under the hood (except for all the Java baggage), but I've never gotten to the point of falling in love with it. I lean toward iOS for day-to-day ease of use and privacy/security, and Windows or Linux when I want a more tinker-friendly platform. But if my N7 can fill a niche, I'm all for it.
