__WIRED:__ Do you really need a cheap *laptop*? Could you get by with a tablet? The Surface Go 2 gives you most, though not all, the power of Windows in a very lightweight, portable form factor. It can also double as a media tablet when you're not working. There's much here to love: it's fanless; the updated 10.5-inch display is sharper and battery life has been improved; there's a MicroSD slot to expand the storage; and the cover is a really lovely little keyboard. 

__TIRED:__ The very nice keyboard cover is still sold separately for $129. The Lenovo below manages to include the cover and cost half as much (though it is less powerful).
