If you are going to use it for Linux development... Just install Vagrant and VirtualBox on it. This will build your VMs and tear them down as needed. Works on Windows, Mac, and Linux. I have been working on combining Vagrant and Docker in both Windows and Linux environments with good luck recently. But Boot2Docker (required on Windows and Mac) requires VirtualBox to run.
Good luck with whatever you purchase.

What kind of luck have you had with them. i5 for under $300 sounds good.

Or you could go the other way and consolidate everything onto a
laptop. Either Office Max / Office Depot or Staples was offering a
Dell i3 for $379 as part of their back to school special. I have
this exact laptop and it is very powerful and can do virtualization
so you would be able to build multiple VM's for learning and your
lfs projects. Blow one up build another.

Hey guys,
My laptop crapped out. I have decided that since I rarely use the
laptop that I will opt to get a tablet. What do you recommend I
get?
