Because that would be moving more proprietary and less trustworthy.<br>
<br>
I can easily and somewhat inexpensively get nice android tablets.<br>
<br>
I want something with a stronger Free Software ecosystem.<br>
<br>
I did find there's Ubuntu for the android n7, so that might fit my needs.<br>

Heck, a pi system with attachable touchscreen would actually be awesome.<br>

I don't know if those system 76 (or whatever their name was) have convertibles, but their price was actually pretty good.<br>

I hear lots of good things about System76. I have a nice light laptop<br>
from ZaReason. I'm quite happy with it as my primary laptop.<br>
<br>
I also have an aircraft carrier for times that I need to live on a laptop<br>
for an extended period. Not as powerful as Brian's helicarrier, but mine<br>
also doesn't have enough fans to levitate.<br>
<br>
I checked both ZaReason and System76 before posting and neither had a<br>
laptop that converts to tablet.<br>
<br>
The laptop is my 3rd ZaReason device in the last decade. I've been quite<br>
happy with their products and support. Not that I require much of the<br>
latter.<br>

You have to search for "developer edition." Here is a link to one:<br>
<br>
<a href="http://www.dell.com/en-us/work/shop/dell-laptops-and-notebooks/xps-13-developer-edition/spd/xps-13-9360-laptop/cax13w10p7b5135ubuntu" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://www.dell.com/en-us/work<wbr>/shop/dell-laptops-and-noteboo<wbr>ks/xps-13-developer-edition/sp<wbr>d/xps-13-9360-laptop/cax13w10p<wbr>7b5135ubuntu</a><br>
<br>
Also the awesome part is that the support also handles Ubuntu, so if a motherboard goes out they don't complain that Linux must have broke it.<br>
<br>
I'm currently using a Surface Pro 3. It was the only tablet that I could find with an i7 in it, which I need. Everything else had the m3 or m5 which just isn't enough for what I use it for.<br>
