I'm now seriously considering the Lenovo Yoga 11S. Other than wifi (which has a driver not quite yet in kernel tree), it is well supported by Linux. The fan can (probably) be unplugged (works on the 13 inch model anyway..)

I've always wanted a laptop whose screen could rotate 360 degrees around like this. Ideal if there is a way to hack it to not make the keyboard fully disable itself in that orientation. Tablet + chording keys underneath has some interesting UI potential.

Hey, it does look pretty good indeed! The price tag is a bit high still, though. Also, I wonder if you can get Windows refunded on that (there already is a $50 difference between W8 Pro and 64, whatever their differences are.
