Sorry guys, M$FT had you beat to market by about... what, four years?
> 16 GB internal memory
Come the fuck on, now. I don't want to deal with the atrocious read/write speeds of MicroSD. 16 GB internal memory hasn't been impressive since sometime around 2007.
This looks promising but it's definitely not for me. I hope someone uses it and likes it, but I think it still has a ways to go before it's more than a novelty.
As per usual; I wonder what the battery life is like. That is really / still the only thing I look for. If it's good enough I would pre-order.

This makes it all a little more usable in my opinion, since there is only 2Gigs RAM onboard ..
I'm happy to see an Ubuntu tablet but about "A tablet when you want it, a PC when you need it.", who wants a PC with 2 GB of RAM?
That's fine for email, youtube, streaming movies, listening to music, doing a bit of light word processing or spreadsheeting. It's great for social media and most website use.
And these machines are very cheap.

I didn't get to play with their Ubuntu tablets, but their Android ones are well built, responsive, and have very clear screens.
This isn't going to replace your totally tricked-out MacBook - but as a portable web-browser / word processor / coding machine, I have high hopes for it.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
I'm completely the opposite. I was always disappointed that Android can't run normal Linux apps.
What do you mean by "normal Linux apps"? GTK+? Qt? Who'd want to use an application that is completely not optimised for a small touch screen?
The linked page states it's using Ubuntu 15.04 as OS, however 15.04 is marked as EOL-ed on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases Is there an easy OS upgrade path? I wonder why they did not go with an LTS release, 16.04 is just around the corner in April and would probably serve their release better.
