Alright, I've been looking for a few days and have hit what I think is the limit, so I thought I'd put some feelers out to see if I missed anything. I have a friend who isn't very tech savvy, but is very sure of the features he wants in a Windows tablet, just not sure what he should buy. He wants something very thin, around the thickness of the Surface Pro 4, with a detachable keyboard, a decent rear-facing camera, an SSD, at least 4 GB of RAM, better than an Atom processor, and preferably the ability to be used with a stylus and microSD expandability. Here's the kicker though, he's on a super-tight budget, so he's looking to spend as little as possible, even willing to buy something used. The best I have been able to find him so far is a $320 Samsung Galaxy TabPro S on Newegg. Is anyone aware of anything that fits that smorgasbord of requirements at a better price?

I'm using the MechanicalEagle Z-77 with some type of knock-off MX Blue switches. I had been typing on a $10 wireless keyboard for a long time, this one feels amazing in comparison. And the sound it makes while typing is magical.

I personally hated Ubuntu, and gave up on Linux because of it until I discovered Linux Mint. Linux Mint is a lot easier to use, and looks better than Ubuntu in my opinion. I would use it. It still has a pretty large user base, but I personally think it is easier to use as a beginner. I would agree with a lot of the input other people have given, if you have a windows machine as a backup that is too easy to switch to, as soon as something gets hard to do, you will just switch back to Windows. I would also recommend a Raspberry Pi, they are a very good learning tool, but are not compatible with everything that an actual Linux computer would be because they have ARM processors.
