I prefer to use Ubuntu. I'm looking for a laptop with touchscreen that can work as a tablet -- either detachable or 2-in-1 (flippable). I'm hoping something out there will work well with Linux. Right now I have my eye on this one: http://www.microcenter.com/product/507799/pavilion-x360-convertible-15-cr0017nr-156-2-in-1-laptop-computer---silver Any ideas? I have to say that Ubuntu "works closely" with HP and maintains a list, and that machine isn't on the list... https://certification.ubuntu.com/certification/make/HP/ That seems like a bad sign. Mike
