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

What about the Starlite 5

Ok this is sexy. I wasn’t even looking for something like this but now I want one.

Fuck, me too and I've actually got a convertible tablet already that works pretty well on Linux (Lenovo X12, better bang for the buck than a Surface which was my previous favorite).

That's an incredible looking slab, thanks for the recommendation!

I was just looking at this, to pair with a custom keyboard and run in portrait mode for editing software. Have any shipped yet? All the YouTube videos I've seen are just people talking about screenshots

Per latest updates people should start getting their hands on first units early December. I have pre-ordered mine almost 3 months ago now and can't wait!

Waiting too! I just found their updates page today. Did you get the pen as well? Curious how it will do in Krita

No pen. I used to have one with Surface Pro but in the end I never used it.

Plus if I decide I really need it the StarLite uses this open standard meaning you can use whichever pen later.
