      Well there’s always the option to buy something like a Samsung Galaxy Book3 360. It’s a laptop that comes with an AMOLED touchscreen, a 360° hinge and the S-Pen. You can put a GNU/Linux distribution on it and enjoy free/libre and open-source software with a tablet-like user experience while keeping your integrated keyboard and touchpad (it’s the best of both worlds!), and the S-Pen is amazing and works on Linux because it uses standardised Wacom protocols. They’re not inexpensive though.

        That’s not a bad idea. Thanks for the recomendation! I had forgotten that s-pens use wacom tech.

    Paid 200 for an old surface, it literally races with arch. No problems whatsoever. But libreboot would be nice.

    $498

    optional keyboard cover for an extra $101.

    Ah, I understand. It’s an attempt to replicate Steve “unwashed” Jobs’ strategy, where buying overpriced stuff makes you BETTER, DIFFERENT and UNIQUE. Am I right?

      Do you think it is overpriced?

      I was doing the configure your device option but I have no clue if the ”additional language” is the external keyboard. It has to be(?) :)

        Do you think it is overpriced?

        Given its capabilities and the fact that you can buy used MS notebook/360 device for such a price? Of course.
