Hi Everyone
I currently use a Dell Inspiron 13 which is the third convertible laptop
I've owned.
This is certainly the best of the three. I often use the touchscreen
with evince to read pdfs, that kind of thing. It also comes with a pen
that is pretty nice.
Driver support is good other than poor support for wifi under debian but
that seems to be a debian problem as that's always been the case in the
past with previous laptops.
I purchased the i7 version and that cost me about 1500 and that is
almost a year ago. I do a lot of video encoding and software development
on the machine as well and it handles all of the quite well.
My main criticism is the touch pad but in general I hate touchpads so
that's not exactly surprising.
cheers
Paul

My kids school are getting Toshiba Portege Z20t so I checked them out
and they look interesting. Basically it is a laptop / tablet machine.
The important criteria for me include:
- Runs Linux WELL
- laptop / tablet / touch screen
- Long battery life
- Fast / Responsive
- As large a screen as possible
I have never used a touch screen version of Linux. Can anyone recommend
similar devices? Are their any pitfalls with touch screens (GNome vs
Unity)?
I run Fedora 25 on a Lenovo Yoga 700, and I use the stock GNOME3 UI and
it all "just works". I do use the touchscreen (although only sometimes).
It's good and light, good high resolution screen and was certainly not a
bad price.
