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 On 10/12/16 10:32, Stewart Smith via luv-main wrote:

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.
