I'm looking for one of these as it looks like most of the slate tablets out have very little HD space. I want to be able to run some low-intensity apps such as Hero Lab and some visual novels on it as well as reading manga and if possible videos.

Requirements:
- x86 processor (QEMU isn't really an option when a lot of what I want to run would require x86)
- atleast 2 cores (the cost for single core is about the same)
- non-hinge design (i don't like the single point of failure)
- on the lower end of $300 (i don't mind having something that is a couple generations old as aside from video, i wouldn't be using it for anything resource intensive. The key thing is that I must be able to find it. Some older convertible models don't exist for sale on the net except as parts).

Preferable:
- Windows XP or 7 (if not I believe most of the stuff I can run can use Wine...I don't know about Hero Lab though).
