If I can put Archlinux on that (and keep Windows for tablet mode), I think I've found my next laptop

  XMonad, or any other tiling WM, would be lovely for tablet mode too, but probably requires some work.

    I know someone who uses a TWM on a tablet, and it works fairly albeit as clunkily as you might expect.

      Oh, that's exactly the person I'm looking for! (I'm considering a similar setup) Do you know what software they use/where the touchscreen works best? Thanks a ton!

        Not quite how I remembered it. Hopefully it's still useful information. In his words: --- I was using ArchLinux from within an Android setup using a chroot. The X server ran under Android an was called XSDL, which handles keyboard and allows me to simulate rightclick. I was using Awesome. I bound volume keys to right click and Super (my WM controlling key). The setup wasn't particularly ergonomic. Problems included the clumsiness and limitation of the X server's controls, the keyboard oriented nature of my Awesome setup, And the general lack of benefit from using a TWM. As far as I was concerned, there was limited merit in having multiple windows active at once when screen space was limited, and other WM with touch in mind would probably work better. --- It was around 10 inch, but the resolution was about 1280 or lower, and touch wasn't that accurate. (1280x800) --- Note that this was a while ago, and XSDL has undergone changes.
