Convertible laptops with Wacom digitizer?
September 30, 2016 at 6:51 am
(This post was last modified: September 30, 2016 at 6:52 am by Alex K.)
I have a Lenovo X220tablet, and after 5 years, it's time for something new with better resolution. I want something lightweight which works as a fully featured business notebook with a good keyboard, but I want a proper Wacom digitizer again as the X220 has it. I'm apparently too stupid to figure out which current Lenovo models have that, if any. Does anyone here have an idea? Should cost less than 2k€

I think I'll go for the Thinkpad 260 Yoga. The X1 is very expensive and has short battery life, and I'd appreciate the portability of the 12 inch 260, easy to take to work.

I'm necroing myself for an update, bc. it seems more reasonable than creating the same thread again.
So, I ordered a neatly configured version of the Yoga 260 with an i7 and 512GB SSD as my main workhorse, I'm excited how that'll work out. I'm now wondering which linux to install next to win 10.

Mint cinnamon.

I've been using Ubuntu for years now, and my impression is that it is going to shit more and more each time. Installing the latest on my dad's desktop pc is a continuing nightmare. Now, mint is ubuntu based, but better?

Much much better. And most important---not Unity.

Yes, that's about 50% of my objections gone. What are they thinking?

Linux is in such a shitty position of trying to be as non-technical and GUI based as possible while not alienating the people who will actually install it and are trying to escape the often nutty mindlessness of Windows and OSX.

Linux as a backend is without equal... As a front end for modern desktop users, it will always be a Frankenstein ... and function as such.
