As you can see from the page title, this is now Ubuntu devices. Why? Read on…
We all know and love the BQ E4.5 (and E5) and the Meizu MX4, but now there will be an Ubuntu tablet. In March, BQ will release an Ubuntu edition of its M10 tablet. This is the first official device which will allow you to use Ubuntu in a tablet setting, but, with the addition of a bluetooth mouse and keyboard, it will effectively be a laptop. Use the M10’s HDMI port and you pretty much have an Ubuntu desktop machine too.
The M10 will also take advantage of a new feature called ‘side stage’. This allows you to run two apps in split screen. With the convergence finally happening, we’ll need software. Yes, the tablet will run standard desktop software such as LibreOffice, GIMP, Firefox, etc. Software for the tablet needs to be packaged slightly differently. While not every piece of software will be available on launch, you will be able to drop to a terminal to install unofficial packages.
The Aquaris M10 Ubuntu Edition tablet will have a 10.1 inch multitactile FHD screen with Dragontrail Asahi protection. It is just 8.2 mm thick and 470 grams in weight. It includes a 7280 mAh LiPo battery, and a powerful MediaTek Quad Core MT8163A to 1.5 GHz processor. Price is, as yet, unannounced.
Also, this month, there will be more phone devices announced. Canonical is working with One+, Sony, and Fairphone to bring Ubuntu to their devices too!
