I've been thinking long and hard on this, and I have decided that I'd like to get a tablet instead of a laptop for some portable work when I go to University since many of them have keyboard docks and decent sized internal storage.
First and foremost, I want a tablet with a dock with both a touchpad and a keyboard with a size of around 10" (no smaller as I don't have the best eyesight). I want to be able to use Ubuntu or possibly another linux distro on it.
I'd like to know whether or not a tablet with linux on it can still use the terminal to write in programming language, as you can on a PC?
Also, I'm willing to spend up to around £300-400 (which is roughly 457-610 USD. I'm willing to spend a little more but no more than £499). Since I'm willing to spend that, I'm assuming that there should be decent emulation compatibility (this would be a bonus, but not necessary).
Would anyone kindly suggest a tablet for me? I've been thinking that the Dell XPS 10 would be good, but I'm a complete noob when it comes to tablets.
I thank you all for your time.
TLDR;
- What's a good tablet I could get for around £300-400 (457-610 USD) that is 10"+ with a dock and touchpad
- If I install Linux on this tablet, can I still use the terminal to write code as you would on a PC?
- If I install Linux, would it A) still be able to emulate B) Emulate well?
- I would prefer USB ports and an SD port would also be appreciated
- Internal storage and ports are an issue, and I would prefer at least 8 hours battery life
- I have been thinking that the Dell XPS 10 might be a good option - especially since the adds over 4 hours battery life
- Thank you all for your time, and for the previous help.
