As many others have already pointed out: it's currently not the best time to buy hardware. FWIW, you could have grabbed Star Labs' StarLite^[Which, quite literally, happens to be a "tablet with a keyboard".] last year for 750 €. Currently, it starts at 1014 €.

Btw, OP, perhaps I'm obnoxious/oblivious/obtuse (or what have you), but I wasn't able to parse what you mean exactly with Linux compatible hardware. If it's not too much trouble for you, could you be very explicit?

EDIT: At one time, the StarLite was available for 416 (!) £. At least, as per this article of GamingOnLinux.
