I paid 285$ a few months ago for a refurbished HP from New Egg. It's perfect for shoving in a bag and for writing. The charge lasts something like 4 hours if I sit there with it open. It'll last 2-3 days on my desk when I open it occasionally. I have it set to go to sleep after 15 minutes.

I used to own an Acer Alpha Switch. I was legitimately sad when the screen cracked. The battery had started to go bad and turn into a pillow. I broke the screen when I was in the process of trying to put it back together. Acer has some newer models I was looking at which were more in the 450$ price range at the time. I ended up going with HP instead because of the price and because I've never had any beef with their products with the exception of their printers.
