Hey all, been looking around, but looking for some guidance. Looking for something around $300, that is good for linux and powerful. Let me know if you have recently purchased or have a good recommendation. Or a good link! Thanks and happy thanksgiving!

Not a support request. Moved to the Cafe.

A 2-in-1 what?

[friedchips2]

A 2-in1 laptop sorry. The kind that is basically a tablet with an attachable keyboard.

I had a Chromebook about a year ago that I sold on Ebay for $100. I took the $100 and added $100 to it and bought a used Dell 2-1 Laptop. The first thing I did was to change out the hard drive for a SSD (64 gig for about $20) and put in a $7 wifi card with bluetooth. Next I added more memory. (4 gig to 8gig) for about $50. I then installed Ubuntu Linux on it and it is running great and boot up in about 15 seconds. So if you total it all up I have $277.00 in a nice little 11" 2 and 1 laptop with over 10 hour battery life.

EDIT: I forgot to mention it has a touchscreen and it works great with Ubuntu.
