Lenovo ThinkPad Yoga 260. Stuck Linux mint on it (because I’m a Linux noob). £170, cheap.
It’s pretty great. I just wish I could get a consistent touchscreen experience because I like to fold the keyboard back and use it like a tablet in bed. It works like a charm on Firefox, but outside of that, the touchscreen is hit or miss. I just want it to work like an iPad or Android tablet in terms of navigation (swipes, long presses, etc.)
Overall though I’m pretty happy with it. Excellent for torrenting and file management and mostly lightweight shit.
I’ve actually already tried Gnome, which definitely works the best with touch. It seems to lack the amount of system settings that the standard cinnamon DE has though.
Sure, default GNOME is pretty barebones, most people use GNOME Tweaks as well for additional settings and some amount of extensions depending on your workflow.
In principle, i would have prefered that this was all built in, but practically, it works really well, for me at least.

Try running GNOME on it. It has pretty good touch support.
