Ah.... I'd give it a body swerve then, Parm. It's a series 1 or 2 and won't run standard Windows apps ("Windows RT" is the version that Microsoft produced for the ARM processor and then promptly abandoned). If you just want it for browsing then it might be ok, but there are far better new and second hand tablets from other manufacturers.
Unfortunately, I think it's cheap because you're getting what you pay for.
There is nowt wrong with an ARM processor, it's just Microsoft have never been any good at writing software for ARM.The runtime version is the one I have ( The Dansk one I mentioned earlier ) as I said, OK but quite limited.
It was free and its in a cupboard somewhere ;-)

It's possible to run Linux on the ARM powered Surface devices but I have no experience of this, just what I have read.
The annoying geek tried this and it was unsuccessful, if it were possible I'd consider doing it - but as you can buy cheap (good) android stuff its not really worth my time finding out.
(edit) however its raining and I've started googling it.. my life is just a random selection of unfinished projects
