I'm using an HP Compaq 2710p with the Wi-Fi card replaced with a Broadcom BCM4311. (That's one of the cards the 2710p laptops come with though if I'm not mistaken, no idea if the BIOS would entertain the idea of a Wi-Fi card that's not the default in any of the 2710p's).

A Compaq TC1000 might also be a bearable option (after the wi-fi card's replaced with one that supports WPA2 anyway), apart from the slowness I experienced with LXDE on it (LXDE, that was not a typo!). Maybe the TC1100 would be better (they didn't lock laptops to Wi-Fi cards back then so just get a random Wi-fi card that works with non-proprietary drivers and fits the slot).

I guess shopping around for old, used x86 convertible tablets can't hurt. The lack of proper touchscreen on those laptops may be a different question, though.
