Take a look into the Surface. The interface isn't always 100% touch optimized, but I'll take that vs being locked into mobile apps. I've been really enjoying WSL, I have my Linux terminal without having to deal with Linux GUI. I ran desktop Linux for 10 years, but I just want my computer to work and not spend all my time playing sysadmin.

This is personal opinion, but I compared the Surface to the iPad pro and to me the iPad felt much more like a toy than a serious tool for getting work done.

My problem with Surface is the lack of apps that properly support a stylus. I don't like OneNote for a number of reasons and there are no decent alternatives. Also, from the stories I've heard, QC on Surface Pros is abysmal, as is support from MS.

I will agree on the lack of other apps (MS whiteboard is a joke), but I happen to really like OneNote. I will say, at least from my experience support is good. My power supply had a failed main cap and was arcing badly when plugged in. MS support shipped me a new one, and asked I ship the old one back when I received the new one.

I hate to say it, as I used to be part of the Slashdot anti M$ brigade, but they made a solid piece of hardware. The only thing I can fault it for is lack of a trackpoint; I spent too many years getting used to my fingers not leaving the home row to move the mouse.
