Ubuntu tablet PC – launch window and specs
Canonical, the company behind the Ubuntu Linux distribution, has announced the launch of a new tablet PC running its open-source operating system.
The Aquaris M10 Ubuntu Edition tablet will launch in Q2 2016, and will come with the latest Ubuntu software.
“We’re bringing you everything you’ve come to expect from your Ubuntu PC, now on the tablet with BQ,” said Canonical.
“This isn’t a phone interface stretched to desktop size – it’s the right user experience and interaction model for the given situation.”
Canonical said it provides something no other OS can: a single, visual framework and set of tools for applications to run on any Ubuntu smart device.
No pricing was announced, but OMG Ubuntu predicted that the tablet will cost around £250 (R5,700).
