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 currently have an Acer Spin 5 I bought like 3 years ago. It’s an awesome little machine. I use it every day to code on, and once in a while I’ll do some graphic design work on it where I need the pen support. The pen it comes with is too small to be comfortable, so I use a Dell active pen. Everything works on it out of the box except the fingerprint reader. I don’t use fingerprint readers anyway, but there is a way to get it working.
