I have a Chuwi Minibook X N100, 12GB LPDDR5 RAM, and a 512GB NVMe drive. Got it for about $200, new. I asked for a Linux discount since I had no desire for Win11, and they obliged! It's not my only machine: I got it to keep in my backpack at all times and it works well for that. At 2 lbs with laptop and tablet modes, I'm pretty happy! Just wrote a bunch of heavy-ish Ruby code on it and it kept up quite well.

There's room for great lower end hardware, but I'm not sure if it'll be any good running Windows.
