I have chosen an Acer TravelMate Spin B3, it is la little more expensive
than my comfort zone for this use, but not that much, and it seems
satisfactory. Network, video, touchscreen and audio work out of the box.
I have not tested suspend or hibernation, as I do not use them.

There is sometimes a strange glitch on the display, it seems to happen
when the system was hot-rebooted. There is also a strange battery drain,
for which I will start a new thread.

Regards,
