I'm in exactly the same situation.  HP have been working with e-buyer 
and now supply a 15" Ubuntu Laptop.  It is possible that they would 
consider doing the same with the Touchsmart if enough of us ask.  I've 
asked the question of e-buyer.  I'll see what they say, and probably ask 
HP as well.  I do like tablets, and would welcome one with Ubuntu 
Unity.  BTW, my old Sammy is a lot better now I've put Lubuntu 14.04 on 
it.  Still slow, but quite usable.
