My MS surface pro4 has died (swelling battery has popped the screen -
known problem) so I am looking for a better replacement. I bought it
new years ago but it only got good Linux support (touchscreen etc.) in
the last couple of years so its been a bit frustrating.
So the question is - whats a good replacement? Criteria is good
battery life, can dual boot windows (this is my only windows machine
these days and there are still some cases - Logitech harmony remote
for one) and gentoo with everything working/supported. I do like the
tablet with detachable physical keyboard design but I mostly use it
with keyboard attached. And non-microsoft hardware is preferred (the
sp4 failure is a design issue for which MS suffered a class action
lawsuit to get them to honour the warranty - I don't want a repeat)

Do you really need/want dual boot, or would Windows in a VM work?
