1 | Hello to everyone. |
2 | |
3 | I'd like to buy a laptop/tablet convertible and to install Gentoo on it. |
4 | Searching Google I couldn't find up to date information about the linux |
5 | compatibility of this kind of device (most of the pages I found are at least a |
6 | couple of years old and at any rate, they give quite contradictory |
7 | information). Does anyone know what the situation is like today in this regard? |
8 | |
9 | In particular, I'm looking to buy some of the less expensive convertibles, at |
10 | most around 300€ (350$), as my needs for it are modest (basically, as I'm a |
11 | teacher, I'd like to use it as a tablet in the classroom to record absent |
12 | students, marks and so on instead of the very old tablet the school provided and |
13 | to use it as a laptop to read e-books and write while traveling to school by |
14 | bus). Looking on amazon, I found some models which could satisfy my needs: |
15 | |
16 | * Asus T100TAF-BING-DK024B [1] |
17 | * Asus T100TAL-BING-DK034B [2] |
18 | * Acer Aspire Switch W5-012-149A [3] |
19 | * HP Pavilion x2 10-n002nl [4] |
20 | |
21 | Does anyone know whether they work with Gentoo? Are there any models which work |
22 | well and that I overlooked? |
23 | |
24 | Thanks in advance |
25 | |
