This is a smaller and slightly less colorful alternative to the HP Stream 13, they are mostly similar and they are both very good internet browsing machines. The great Matte display is the main selling point, together with the free One Year Office 365 Personal license. The Storage of only 32GB is a bit tiny but can be easily expanded with microSD cards and/or External USB Drives.

This little fanless 2-In-1 Convertible, with its quad core atom processor, is more than enough for all your basic computing needs, but sadly, the GPU doesn't have enough horsepower for games more complex than the ones in the Windows Store. The Acer Aspire Switch 10V is one of the few Basic 2-In-1 Convertible to have a secondary 500GB traditional Hard Drive storage in the keyboard Dock other than the usual 32GB of fast eMMC SSD memory.

The HP x2 210 G1 is a basic business convertible. If compared to other convertible Cloudbooks, this PC offers a higher amount of memory (4GB) a slightly faster and bigger 64GB eMMC storage (instead of the usual 32GB) and very good speakers from Bang & Olufsen. If you only need internet browsing and office workloads for your business, and you value a lightweight yet sturdy companion, the relatively high price of 445$ is largely justified!

The HP Pavilion 11t x360 is a small and economic basic Home Theater PC that has the advantage of being convertible to desktop, laptop and tablet form factor. Thanks to its completely silent and fanless design, great video encoder/decoder, huge storage, external TV HDMI connectivity and gorgeous integrated IPS screen with an almost perfect color reproduction, this small computer is an excellent entertainment device.

Silent and inexpensive, this small 10" 2-in-1 convertible from Acer offers an impressive display that in combination with its integrated Intel HD Graphics GPU makes it a great choice for video streaming and internet browsing. The Acer Aspire Switch One has a relatively huge 8200 mAh, meaning a long battery life in "tablet mode", giving the user a whopping ~10 hours of Netflix/YouTube Streaming. Being an inexpensive cloudbook "Power Users" and "Gamers" will not find this PC interesting at all. The Intel Atom processor is too underpowered for anything but internet and very basic office related stuff.
Other characteristics
Networking; Realtek RTL8723BE Wi-Fi b/g/n + Bluetooth 4.0 (supports only the older Wi-Fi n standard (54MBPs)
Ports: 2xUSB 2.0, HDMI, microSD Card Reader, 3.5mm audio
Operating system: Windows 10 Home 32bit
Application Performance
The Intel Atom x5 Z8300 is the slowest quad core CPU of this generation and is barely faster (only in multithreaded workloads) than the dual core Intel Celeron N3050. The Acer Aspire Switch One 10 offers just enough performance to open a browser, basic office spreadsheets and other basic apps.

The above characteristics make this computer a great choice for:
The multimedia "Road Warrior" on a budget, with its good speakers & Intel Quicksync Video Encoder/Decoder, this system is great for music and video streaming...

The Odys Vario Pro 12 with active input pen, selling for just 326$ is an interesting alternative to major manufacturers convertibles...And indeed this PC delivers pretty well, thanks to its long lasting battery runtime, its fanless system design, and its being powerful enough for most basic tasks. The touchscreen (IPS) is also good, but slightly darker than average. The killer feature of this PC is, of course, the precise and comfortable to use bundled Active Pen.

The Lenovo Ideapad Miix 310 is the successor of the Miix 300. The main difference is the upgrade to newer Intel Atom "Cherry Trail" line of processors.
