Ubuntu and BQ have this week announced the imminent launch of a new Ubuntu tablet which will take the form of the Aquaris M10 Ubuntu Edition, and will be the very first hardware to offer an Ubuntu convergent experience.
The Aquaris M10 Ubuntu tablet fitted with a 10.1 inch multitactile FHD screen with Dragontrail Asahi protection, and is powered by a MediaTek Quad Core MT8163A 1.5 GHz processor and includes a powerful 7280 mAh LiPo battery.
The Aquaris M10 Ubuntu Edition is our third mobile device to ship with Ubuntu. Our customers were delighted with the Aquaris E4.5 Ubuntu Edition and Aquaris E5 HD Ubuntu Edition phones, and we’re excited to be the first OEM to ship the converged Ubuntu experience. It’s this kind of innovation that makes BQ and Ubuntu such a great fit.
Aquaris M10 Ubuntu Edition brings Ubuntu’s rich full touch experience to life. It’s simple to connect a bluetooth mouse and keyboard to convert the Aquaris M10 Ubuntu Edition into a full Ubuntu PC, featuring everything you know and love about Ubuntu. Then, connect the tablet to an external display for a full-sized PC experience.
