Well there's always the option to buy something like a Samsung Galaxy Book3 360. It's a laptop that comes with an AMOLED touchscreen, a 360° hinge and the S-Pen. You can put a GNU/Linux distribution on it and enjoy free/libre and open-source software with a tablet-like user experience while keeping your integrated keyboard and touchpad (it's the best of both worlds!), and the S-Pen is amazing and works on Linux because it uses standardised Wacom protocols. They're not inexpensive though.
It's not exactly the same, but current and last gen Samsung tablets can run Krita. I've never used it on desktop though so I don't know if the Android version is worse in some way but I've had a great time with it on my Tab S8 Ultra
Does everything run on ARM? Steam, Wine, stuff like that? Are the power optimisations as good on Linux/ARM as on x86? Not saying they aren't, but I imagine on a laptop replacement thingy x86 makes sense due to this kind of support.
I think there's a bug causing threads that don't have an image to pull a random thumbnail. I've seen a lot of unrelated thumbnails the last couple of days, but this is the first NSFW one.
Ah, I understand. It's an attempt to replicate Steve "unwashed" Jobs' strategy, where buying overpriced stuff makes you BETTER, DIFFERENT and UNIQUE. Am I right?
It looks like they're combining two options into one, like instead of having you choose "optional keyboard Y/N" and then "keyboard language", you just choose them both at once, like "optional keyboard and if so, what language?"
From another post about this yesterday, I found in the specifications section of their website, a "what's in the box": No mention of a keyboard. So the base model has no keyboard. So ya, choosing the layout is also opting for the keyboard, and, adding an extra ~$100 to the price.
$500 with a keyboard would be acceptable for a device like that. But the retail price is given as $700 plus $100 for the keyboard. That's pretty steep.
I'm all for paying a little more for a machine that puts Linux and FOSS first. Dell and Lenovo are cheaper, sure, but you're supporting the Windows/closed source ecosystem.
The same thing is true about the transformer laptop that was posted on here a bunch but people seemingly loved that despite the steep price for what it was.
