The HP Thinkpad can run a version of Linux Touch. The guy who sold me my linux-driven Chromebook has one.
Im in the market myself... after a lot of research this is what i have narrowed it down too... BUT.. with that said, once i actually come up with the money for one, the first thing ill do when i get it is nuke the drive and install mint... this is linux, if you have to modify an OS to not be spied on (Ubuntu) you are doing something wrong.....

I got a dual boot tablet (Win10/Android) from China a while back with the intention of putting Linux on it, but when I started to research it I was disappointed at how few resources I could find. I mean there are quite a few hints and suggestions out there and I did manage to root it but haven't gone any further because the chance of bricking the thing seems too great. Or even if I was successful then it's likely that not all of the hardware would be supported, like the camera or wifi or even the touch screen. I remain hopeful but for now it's a $400 paper weight.

Apparently the Surface Pro 1 runs linux pretty well now. Here's a review of it running Ubuntu (at 48:38)

Thanks for taking the time to answer my questions. Your input has been appreciated.
I still haven't settled on a device to buy. I may wait until something a bit more polished or hacker friendly is released.
