I found the Dell Inspiron 11 on at Office Depot for $320 (Amazon has it for $307 see below). It has a Pentium processor, but the latest Pentiums are actually quite powerful Braswell quad core processors that run on very low power. The tablet performs quite nicely, and battery life is quite good (6+ hours). This thing has no problem browsing script heavy sites that usually kill low power CPUs. Came with 4GB RAM and a 500GB standard HDD.
It's about the same size as my Surface Pro 3 (slightly smaller screen) and a bit thicker. It has three USB ports (two of them 3.0) versus the Surface Pro's annoying single USB port. Keyboard is quite decent for a small laptop form factor.
My only complaint is that Win10's tablet mode really sucks compared to Win8. They basically threw out all the features of the Win8.1 tile mode that really did work great in tablet mode. The Edge browser doesn't support swiping forward and back to go forward and back through web pages (God I really miss that more than anything and when I Googled it that was the biggest complaint), and there's several other annoyances.
I'm planning to drop a spare 120GB SSD in this thing and when I do, I think I'll downgrade it to Win8.1. Since it's a Dell it should do a self OEM activation, and Dell DOES have Win8.1 drivers for it.
Like all Dells, there's a good service manual available and replacing the HDD in this one is a piece of cake. The whole back cover comes off and it's right there.

Mine is the Model 3157.
You want the one with the N3700 processor. You don't want the dual core Celeron.
