Hi, lets talk about 2in1 laptops and tablets. Which ones are the best for running linux on them, which ones are your favorites right now, what do you like using them for, etc. I find myself really missing having a 2in1 sometimes, especially for the portability aspects of them.

Update:

I have been thinking about what my usecases for it will be and I’m definitely leaning more towards a tablet for it’s better portability. I think the StarLite will be the biggest contender so far.

Some of the main things I would like to be using it for will be:

-navigation in my vehicle

-videos

-music

-browsing/online research

-weather station

    I have had a wonderful experience with the Surface Pro 4, back in uni, and would have definitely recommended that. Check how the 9 performs with Linux.

    That said, despite being crowned the champion for this, I would not recommend anything from the Dell XPS line. Especially not the recent machines, or the convertibles

        Garbage build quality, and poor longevity. Out of the box, they may have been great machines (before the current generation). As soon as you start having problems, you would spend all for your time wishing you got something else
