I picked up a Chromebook a week ago. It was a bit under $250, has touch, a lit keyboard, a reasonable trackpad, HDMI out, USB3, an SSD, run ChromeOS and also Android apps, and the screen can flip all the way around so it’s in tablet mode.
I’ve only played with it a little, but it’s reasonably snappy and seems to do a huge portion of what I use computers for.
I’ve been playing with Termux so I can have a reasonable Python environment, and I think I’m going to try some Django development on the device itself…
