I’d wonder how this would beat a used surface go or something similar - they’re pretty light and affordable. And, while they’re not powerhouses, I wouldn’t expect much from a budget android tablet emulating x86 and running wine.

You can get pretty powerful, nearly mint condition Surface alternatives from Dell and Lenovo for fraction of the price, if you look at post-lease hardware. My last two portable machines were such 2-in-1 devices - specs comparable to top Surface 2-in-1 line, but for one third of the price.
I would expect most budget Android tablets to provide a significantly more smooth experience than a Surface Go. While it was almost serviceable at launch, these days it can barely keep up with Windows.
