A family member gave me an old convertible Chromebook, which I (of course) installed Linux on for the fun of it. It has convinced me there's a place in my life for a Linux tablet, though it's not quite the right device for me.
The Surface Go 2 seems about right with less size and more memory than the Chromebook, but I figured I should ask if people like anything else. Here are some preferences:
- 500-600g weight seems about right; the Chromebook is 1100g and that's a bit much
- 10" or so, 3:2 or 4:3, nothing more oblong
- Pressure-sensitive stylus support
- Expandable storage - an SSD I can swap without a heat gun is ideal, but an SD card slot will do
- Headphone jack
- x86-64, not ARM
- 8gb RAM
- $100ish for used B-grade
