From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

"Celeron N100" for 700$? That's absurd, you can get a Raspberry pi tablet for way less and if you want x86 there are cheaper alternatives, maybe they're just a small team and assemble everything by hand that might explain the high price but 700$ is a little high

I've looked, are there any clear winners I might have missed?
