I purchased an HP Stream 7 (quad core atom) from MS ($83 after tax, shipping). Also purchased a dell micro USB charge and USB adapter ($20).
The trick with the stream7 is that it has only one USB port, and it is used to power the device. So to connect the kinect you need the adapter I have listed. When the adapter is used, the charger charges much more slowly--though it does still charge. Overall, for ~$100 I have a pretty decent HSTouch/kinect client. I think these are still available if others are interested.
Update: See post 6. Charging seems to be a problem with kinect plugged in.
