If you're price conscious, you're picking up something like this:

That has the ports built in. For Office, you're running the free Kingsoft Office... Oh, and if you want more storage, plug in a microSD card for many GB more at much cheaper prices per GB.

All for $210. Surface is laughably bad for bang for buck, as is older refurb iPads ... the only killer app IMO in the new iPad is the awesome resolution.

Have you looked at the Chinese tablets? There are many which have pretty much everything you want. I just got a Novo 7 Fire, which has a MicroSD slot, a 1280x800 IPS 5-point multitouch screen, bluetooth, etc. I am satisfied with the build quality. It is hard to compare build quality since it is somewhat subjective, but I would put it at slightly less than Apple products, but not much less. I flashed the firmware with a different rom which someone put together, and it is behaving exactly like a Nexus 7 now.

There are a multitude of different chinese tablets made by Ainol, Onda, Ramos, PiPo, etc. I found Merimobiles a good site to browse and shop for these chinese tablets, but I didn't buy from them so I can't say anything about their service and I don't recommend for or against them.

Why spend even $199 when you can get a perfectly good tablet with an IPS screen for only $129? Spending $500 for an iPad 3 is crazy enough. Spending any more than $500 for a tablet is completely ridiculous.

For ~70$ you can buy a chinese box running Android with HDMI output, wi-fi and remote on sites like dealextreme, merimobiles, pandawill etc. Something like this
(it's just an example, there are literally hundreds of slightly different options):

Don't expect it to work well out of the box, but as a DIY project it should be fine. You can write a custom android app to control it, or install something like plex for android.
For more possibilities, make sure you get a device with an available root access.

If you don't care about branding, you can get a reasonable tablet now for ~ $150

For a LogMeIn Ignition tablet you might be OK with this one @ $85

I'm not a shill, but I have a Dropad A8 that runs Android 2.3 and is usable for logmein to a Win7 PC or web browsing...

Or for a slightly more expensive device you can get 2.3, with a capacitive touchscreen and 'modern' hardware:

My favorite is the Ainol Novo 7 Advanced (ICS is already running in beta on it!!):

The answer to your question is the Ainol (pronounced "eye-nol") Novo 7 Advanced, which can run Ice Cream Sandwich.

I'm not a shill for Merimobiles but they seem to have the cheapest price. I'll buy one as soon as they get back in stock.

Why can't they be much cheaper?

While some here on /. will refuse to admit, it actually is costly to make a tablet and get a decent margin on them. Most here would like a tablet to cost $150 and be able to run Crysis II while mixing 5.1 audio at the same time; there are limits to what tablets can do for a price. Some components like 10" screens are not plentiful as they have not been mass produced by many suppliers and are still limited to a few companies.

If you look at the Shangzai market, you can find tablets with similar hardware specs being sold for at least $100 less. It's somewhat safe to assume that there is at least $100 profit on the hardware. For example $414 gets you this http://www.merimobiles.com/Venus_Pad_Honeycomb_android_3_0_Dual_Core_Tegra2_p/meri0641.htm.
