I need to replace my Lenovo x120e duo core Fedora (F17 still)
notebook soon; I am getting USB errors...
So can I get a comparable arm notebook to get better battery etc and
put F19 on it? And will I get enough apps (I really only need fairly
'basic' 'office' apps) at this time. Oh and 'cheap' (< $400),
200+Gb, and keyboard is manditory :)
I was pointed to the Asus TF700T, but it is only a 10" display.
My search fu is typically weak, and I have not found a list of
systems to evaluate that I could consider.
I Personally own a Toshiba AC100 which run fedora-19 armhfp with
completely opensource bootloader, kernel and 2D graphics.
This last is rather good supported for desktop usage.
Most of the work is upstream, only missing point is the panel
activation driver. I've also added and backported few patches:

This device isn't sold anymore, so you might find a second-hand. (If
one is mad enought to sell such amazing device).
The support for Asus TF700T could be close to the AC100 given that
they are both tegra based devices, But I doesn't know how close to
upstream this devices is.
+1 for the AC100.
It's not without it's limitations, but there are a number of
tweaks and modifications that can be applied to it to
improve it:
