Any suggestions? I didn’t mind older/used stuff, or off brand, smaller or foreign stuff. I don’t know if Linux does tablets but I’d be open to that as well.

Battery life isn’t really an issue. I’m not going to be using it that way, it’s just for ease of access at home

    I own a Dell Latitude 5290 2-in-1.

    I’ve used Fedora for years on it, Recently swapping to Fedora Atomic. The only downside is the camera not working.

    I got it off EBay with no SSD for like, $320, then the SSD + Keyboard + Pen brought it to $400. (2019/2020) (It is now being sold about $200 altogether in some listings).

    I also spent money on a replacement battery a few years later (another $40), accidentally broke the screen (another $50).

    It was worthwhile, this laptop, while the CPU is aging, has been enough to power my development, light gaming, and work needs for years.

    Fedora with GNOME makes it relatively easy to use with 150% scaling, 200% also works but feels a bit crowded.

    You can use waydroid for Android apps, although I do not recall if the touchscreen nputted correctly / consistently for it.
