Buy a tiny computer, lease the OS

If you don’t need much more than the regular office suite and browser, you might get along fine with a Zonbox, by Zonbu. $100 gets you the box, a small and efficient Small form factor PC. Then $12.95 gets you an always-patched OS and twenty included open source apps. The price seems a bit high for apps that are generally free, so a lot depends on their software offerings… but at the moment their site requires signup.
