OK #lazyweb, I have a dilemma and would enjoy some input. The Tablet I got a few years ago is aging. I'd like to replace it with something that is more like my XO-1 (which is very ancient in computer years).
So here are the requirements I'm using while looking.
Must be unlocked/unlockable, must be able to run standard Linux distro, must be in the 8-12 inch range, must be mobile, laptop form factor preferred over tablet, must have WiFi, more i/o ports equals more preferred. Must have integrated display, touch not important if laptop form factor.
So basically I want a freedom respecting, ~10inch, Linux based UMPC/MID.
Anyone seen something like this lately?

X61 is 12.1", X200 is 12", X220 is 12.5".
X61s (the one I have) doesn't run Coreboot, though, AFAIK. If that's an issue for you.
@freemor@identi.ca coreboot would be a preference not a requirement. I'll have to take a closer look at those
@freemor@identi.ca hmmm.. Just measured my XO-1 and the netbook that acts as my server. XO is 9 inches wide, server is 10, so I guess I'm looking for a laptop with a sub 10inch display. Something like my N800 from back in the day would be cool, jut a more up to date version
