<div dir="auto">From personal experience the yoga 260 (Lenovo) works very well as a flip top device with Ubuntu on it. Touchscreen and stylus appear to work out of the box. It is not to bad to get inside and update disk/ram/cleaning. It performs very well and the adapter that gives vga or vga/ethernet work well. The ethernet is part of the Intel chipset so drivers are ready without trouble. And overall it has enough horsepower to be a main laptop. It likely will play nice with Debian as well. </div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Sep 25, 2017 11:21 AM, "der.hans" <<a href="mailto:PLUGd@lufthans.com">PLUGd@lufthans.com</a>> wrote:<br type="attribution"><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">Am 25.

I hear that touch support in Ubuntu supports this laptop 2in1.<br>

I found a review for the new X13 that looks good.<br>

Sounds like it's easy to install and mostly works out of the box. I also<br>
see the fingerprint reader not working as a feature :).<br>
<br>
I don't see a way to buy it without the windows tax. Anyone know a way to<br>
get an unloaded XPS from Dell?<br>
<br>
Still wish I could get a good linux-powered KDE tablet instead.<br>

I'm considering replacing my tablet as it's gradeschool age and a bit<br>
persnickety.<br>
<br>
I'm less and less enthused with app stores and would prefer something with<br>
a repository backing it. Preferably debian, but Ubuntu is acceptable.<br>
Other debian-based distros might be an option.<br>
<br>
As such, I'm considering a laptop that can double as a tablet.<br>
<br>
I would prefer it to be functional as a laptop. Yes, that includes<br>
containers and VMs :).<br>
<br>
Battery life of a few hours is sufficient if it has a decent charging<br>
mechanism.<br>
<br>
I'm find with fliptop type things. Removable display to become a tablet<br>
might also work.<br>
<br>
This is a tool, so I would prefer somewhat regular install and updates.<br>
<br>
I won't consider Lenovo or HP for a variety of reasons. We can talk about<br>
it at Stammtisch.<br>
<br>
Any recommendations?<br>
<br>
ciao,<br>
