I was at the Bourke Street Dick Smith just before and they had the Asus Aspire 10 E (SW3-13-10MU) model on clearance for $199.
Only in white at this store. I would imagine it's the same price at all other stores. Not the most amazing price, but if you're after a cheap tablet/laptop hybrid, this could do the trick.
They had 5 new and 2 floor stock from what I gathered at that particular store.

Quick review
I got around to setting this baby up. So far it's running quite nicely and for the price I'm impressed with it. Some pros and cons:
Pros
- The IPS panel is quite nice, this is going from a laptop with a crappy TN panel
- It's not as light/small as the Asus T100, however still very small and portable
- Contrary to other reviews, I think it's a sexy unit, especially in white
- I haven't thrown a great deal at it, but it performs nicely and boots up quick so far (better than my HDD laptop)
- 44Gb free, which for the purposes I need is more than enough, even if it doesn't come with the 500G HDD
- The way the unit clicks/unclicks is really nice and it feel sturdy too in laptop mode
Cons
- The keyboard can be a little cramped compared to a normal laptop (obviously, it's 10" only) but works OK
- There was a lag I noticed while starting to write this mini review, but putting it down to things still going on in the background, like Windows 10 downloading and other updates
- Not a fan of the way the trackpad clicks, but can't expect much for this price
Over all I can't complain (so far) given the $199 price. Seriously loving the screen which is heaps better than the laptop I was using. It's small, portable, performance is alright, can't ask for more given the price.
