This seems similar in spec to some research I did into tablets that could run Linux. I found someone installed Linux on a Onda V80 plus (a dual booting Android/Windows 10) tablet https://medium.com/@tomac/installing-ubuntu-mint-linux-on-onda-820w-tablet-727747a376b https://medium.com/@tomac/installing-ubuntu-mint-linux-on-on... and that led me to looking at all of the cheap Chinese windows 10 tablets running the Intel cherry tree processor. It would be a crapshoot whether they worked out of the box I what chipsets they used but a lot of these type of laptops can be found for 100-200$ on AliExpress. It's a shame that Linux driver's aren't automatic but such is life. I'm pretty committed to System76 at this point because I don't feel like wasting time trying to solve a bunch of driver BS and unsupported chips. I have wasted untold hours doing this in the past. But perhaps some masochist impulse will lead me down the route of trying to save a few hundred bucks and I'll buy a cheap Chinese tablet. On the other hand maybe unofficial Linux support for the surface go will be as good as Linux support for Macs has been in the past and it'll be a viable hardware choice.
