For a HTPC (i.e. Kodi/Plex)/kids computer this seems like a good deal for $134.99 + $5 shipping:

Product highlights:
Windows 10
passive cooling - no fan noise
bluetooth 4.0, hdmi, one usb 3.0, one usb 2.0, microSD slot
802.11ac card included
software that allows you to use an ipad as a screen
battery that lasts up to 4 hours (can move it between screens without powering it off or use it on the road with an ipad)
fingerprint reader

Disadvantages:
no wired Ethernet port (would have to buy a Ethernet to USB adapter)
32GB of eMMC flash memory and 2 GB RAM (both not upgradable)
It can handle games like Minecraft, but any newer generation games it will struggle with
