The Microsoft Store is selling two Win 10 tablets at a low price today. <https://www.microsoftstore.com/store/msca/en_CA/list/categoryID.70394700?icid=HP-12DD-Day5-LTH-120916-MSCA> Both have IPS displays with 1920 x 1200 resolution (nice). Both can probably run linux, but with varying amounts of difficulty. The $74 one has 32-bit UEFI firmware which is annoying for Linux. So I would ignore it. The $119 one has a 64-bit UEFI firmware. At a minimum, you should be able to install Windows Linux subsystem on this (most of text-mode Ubuntu). I have a Win 10 tablet with a similar processor and have been able to boot Ubuntu (some months ago). I needed a kernel parameter that de-tuned the video drive a lot to get it working. With enough experimentation, I could probably have figured out a better work-around. But desktop distros aren't actually much fun on tablets These tablets have very limited USB: one port, USB 2, probably also used to charge tablet. There's something quite interesting about being able to buy a tiny Windows box quite inexpensively and Windows is an OK tablet OS. But generally an Android tablet makes more sense as a tablet (more relevant software, longer battery life). Still, if I didn't already have Windows tablet, I'd consider buying one of these to play with.
