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.
