Or you could buy an 8 gb USB stick for $10, load your favorite Linux distro on it using Universal USB installer or unetbootin, load all your fav software, make a separate partition for your own data, and then use the host machine's processor to run it, which will almost certainly be more powerful than a dual core 1.2 GHz ARM device. You could even encrypt the drive for privacy. All for the cost of two Starbucks double lattes.
