I did a lot of research into this and finally found that Surface Go 2/3/4 are pretty much the only devices that qualifies as true x86 linux "tablets" out there, which is a bit disappointing, since they are a bit underpowered and top out at 8 GB of RAM.
Other options are too heavy and are awkward to use as tablets. Examples are Surface Pro models, Minisforum v3, Starlite and Surface-like devices from Dell (latitude 7210 for example), HP and Lenovo.
IMO they better quality as compact laptops rather than tablets.
Surface Go devices are around 500+ grams (1.20 lbs) and are comfortable to hold and use as tablets.
They are 100% compatible with linux out of the box.
I've been using a used Surface Go 2 I picked up for $160 for a couple of days and it's a joy to use both as a tablet and with the detachable keyboard, albeit if you only use it for web browsing and typing.
I just wish there were more devices in that weight class with better specs, but unfortunately I couldn't find any.
Has anyone found other good linux-friendly tablets worth checking out?
