I'm so glad that I watched the first of these, and I think I will also enjoy the second. Since it required a bit of searching due to the very short mention at the end, the "Vivaldi" KDE tablet can be found at http://makeplaylive.com/ http://makeplaylive.com/ , which cites a "target retail price of €200" for the tablet stack.
Related to this, I have been helping seed the torrents and distribution of a new flavor of Kubuntu called Kubuntu Active, which can be found at http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/kubuntu-active/releases/precise/release/ http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/kubuntu-active/releases/precise/re... . Like the Vivaldi tablet mentioned, it's based on the KDE Active stack and is thus optimized for touchscreens. I'm going to try this live CD out on my convertible tablet PC, once I can find a CD to burn it to. I was already very surprised to find that six months ago my upgrades magically enabled multitouch, but at the time it seemed like the only multitouch gesture anyone had programmed for was pinch-to-zoom in KDE.
Since it might also be relevant, in the vein of "send money to support businesses which ship Linux," shortly after I bought my current Fujitsu laptop I found a nice company selling Linux laptops called System 76: https://www.system76.com/ https://www.system76.com/ . While they don't seem to be selling convertible touchscreens yet, they do make some very pretty and cost-effective laptop options. (Full disclosure: I am plugging them in part because I want them to stay in business, because I want to buy from them whenever I need my next laptop.)
