Can someone please suggest me good x86_64 tablet which is available in #india and is somewhat fast enough?

(I don't want to compile stuff on it, but I need something for travel)

I got earlier suggestion of Surface Go 2 tablet from @dcz but that seems like pokemon, nowhere to be found.

AI frustration; my daughter studies at Maastricht University and had to write a paper. She's a good student (better then I ever was) and prides herself in really doing the work; researching, writing, referencing and yet her paper got flagged for having a 80% generated by AI score. She's furious obviously. Is this what uni has come to, having to prove the AI that scores AI is slop?

any #feditips on how to prove a text is not AI generated?
