You can take a look at the X61 Tablet with touch screen built-in. Touchscreen should work out of the box on Ubuntu. I have an X61 Tablet with no touch screen support, and I just love it and its quality.

Buy an iPed from China. It runs Linux with the touchscreen support. Plus, it is not just "nicely priced," but has an extremely reasonable price tag: $105.

I use Ubuntu in a HP Pavilion tx2500 it works great. Since Lucid touch screen and pen works out of the box. And you can rotate the screen to use it as a tablet. No drivers problems, wifi works, camera works. Using it with Ubuntu since Feb/2008

Vary good choice thank you I ended up with the HP TouhSmart tm2 with a few upgrades, and the pin does work well ! but the right click on the pin does not and the screen flip feature also does not – Locutus of Borg Jan 07 '11 at 15:58
