I recently bought a very cheap Dell laptop with a dual-core "bay trail" processor - branded Celeron, with integrated graphics. After putting an SSD in it I am extremely impressed.
It's no powerhouse but it runs Windows 8.1 very well indeed and I can still play older games with respectable settings - Max Payne 1 and 2 and Half-life are installed and play beautifully. The most impressive part though has to be the fact that it runs so cool it doesn't have a fan in it. Along with the SSD this means it's totally silent and the battery can last about two full days of use.
Some people will need a desktop replacement and this won't be for them - but for those who don't need serious number crunching on the move, this is the future IMO.
