Tablets that can run GNU/Linux

According to https://trisquel.info/es/forum/trisquel-tablet , the Dell Latitude ST can nicely run Trisquel.
Since that is a Windows 7 tablet, and since all those bootup software mess sort of didn't start until around the time Windows 8 was launched (if I remember correctly), does that mean that there was a generation of Intel Atom Windows 7 Tablets which made use of the 'power efficient' Intel Atom and yet supports having their OS' changed, perhaps replaced with GNU/Linux? If there is, how good is the battery life? Is it as good as the Android tablets that most people use?
Or have I gotten it all wrong and there are new, Windows 8, x86 tablets that actually do run GNU/Linux?
Though I can't answer your question, i want to add that a tablet running a fully functional version of trisquel would be far superior to a galaxy 2 running replicant.
The latter one is barely acceptable... slow 2d graphics, no wifi, no video.
Does anybody knows if 3d acceleration works too on Dell Latitude ST? grimlok mention he would add its information to h-node but it seems he never did, and it seems it's not possible to contact him on his profile on this forum :(
According to the specs I found on the Internet it uses a Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 600. Any ideas? xD
The only Intel Media Accelerator I could find on h-node was Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 4500, and it says it works with 3d acceleration, but I guess that doesn't means the 600 does to.
there is a tablet version of the thinkpad x60s
and the x60(s)(and therefore x60s tablet) with libreboot installed is compatible with
gnu/linux(if you change the wifi card)
you can find info here
http://www.libreboot.org/docs/hcl/index.html#supported_x60_list
also here is a review of the tablet(running windows but you get the idea)

just make sure to read the libreboot info here:
http://www.libreboot.org/docs/hcl/index.html#supported_x60t_list
that’s if you installing libreboot
i think you could use it without but obviously
libreboot would be better
I'm looking for whether there exists a tablet, out of curiousity for now, that has a battery life, and perhaps weight, that rivals that of those Android tablets. So I'm guessing the X60T won't do, the X200T would barely do if Gluglug starts doing it, and an Intel Atom tablet.....will be perfect if I can get GNU/Linux running nicely on it with a lengthy battery life.
when you say tablet what do you mean?
why do you think the x60t would not do?
it could run gnome3 if you wanted it too
you can find the specs here:

I do think that the X60T (or, even more than that, the one-I-want-to-avoid-even-more Compaq TC1000) is a tablet. But not quite what I quite want.......
