My wife bought a Lenovo yoga and loves it

I have one too and also love it. Runs Linux just fine

Wait, I have a yoga too. It can run Linux?

It's just a PC with a touchscreen that comes with Windows installed from the store. The only thing to really worry about are the hardware drivers for the unique bits.

Ah. Mine is an Android tablet, so I'm guessing it's not the same thing.

Yeah, sorry. I meant one of the PC Yogas. I think mine is the C930

You actually probably could get a different Linux distro running on an Android tablet, but it would probably take more work than on a PC
