I hate to plug a Microsoft product as mainly Linux user, but do checkout the surface line.

Tried one at a previous workplace ~1.5 years ago (IE/Edge test machine, convenient for carrying around to show people stuff rather than using a VM on your main machine for all Windows testing). Maybe with Linux or a BSD and if you ignore touch it's tolerable? The touch + Win10 experience was janky and lag-tastic. Battery life so-so, can't imagine that'd improve under a *nix unless you disable or forcibly throttle half the hardware. Maybe the high end machines are better? I'd assume that was the entry level one. I was actually surprised at how bad the touch interface experience (and experience generally) was since I remember everyone raving about them when they came out.
