I picked up a (very) cheap Acer Spin 1 as a dedicated machine for embedded development. 250 euros. Meant for Windows 10, but unusable for that with its 32GB of eMMC.
With a bit of effort installed Ubuntu 18.04 on it. Works great! Wifi, touch pad, even the touch screen and orientation all work out of the box. No messy driver configuration.
I did replace gnome with Unity (an `apt install ubuntu-unity-desktop` away), because it performs tons and tons better than gnome and with a 1.25 scale makes the 11" 1080P screen much more usable. Amazing how much computing you can get for this price...!
