Looks like MS Surface with Qualcomm Snapdragon processors should be available 
discounted on Meta Facebook Marketplace if you care to do such things, or you 
can buy them new from Surface vendors, laptop or tablet, with tiny screens.

There appear to be complaints about MS lack of support for native ARM64 
development tools and drivers, and no desktop support, mobile chips only.
