Croma 1177

There are plenty of devices in assorted shapes and sizes in the laptop-tablet hybrid space. The Croma 1177 is more of a tablet, but it can be propped up and used with a keyboard case so that you get something like the experience of using a full-fledged laptop. This isn't a very polished product but it is quite affordable. It's nice to have a touchscreen, but this is not the kind of device you can prop up on your lap to work on. If touch is the kind of thing you can live without, a regular budget laptop might suit your needs better. Performance was surprisingly decent, though battery life was not impressive at all.
