#42Seriously? 2 gigs of ram! I wonder how much Unity will be hogging when running in PC mode.

#43Just ordered one. I had a chat to the BQ team in London recently. They're selling CyanogenMod Android phones as well. The CEO was quite clear that flashing a new OS wasn't going to void the warranty. 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…
So you can install and run nginx, redis, Atom.io, postgres etc. on this?

Or an SSH client, and run all that stuff at DigitalOcean.

But you can also do that do that on any iPad or Android tablet?
Plus imagine the cases where you don't have wifi (train commute, metro, lousy coffee shop etc.)

#48As a consumer, I find it completely uninteresting unless it can run Android apps. If Play Store is an impossibility, support alternative apps stores such as F-Droid or 9apps.
I'm completely the opposite. I was always disappointed that Android can't run normal Linux apps.

#49I've seen a lot of Linux tablets, and so far they've always been a touchscreen added to an early 2000's desktop-style interface: small touch targets, gestures don't work in obvious places etc. That said, it's been a while so I could be out of date: is the Linux desktop UI and apps used by the Ubuntu tablet touch focused? Edit: Linux as in the common usage of 'Linux kernel, glibc, X', not Android. Which you knew.
This is not a Linux tablet in that hacked-up sense. It's Ubuntu Phone. I've been using this for a year now on my Aquaris E5 and while it's not quite as smooth as IOS and Android quite yet, and that's only because my hardware is a little slow, it's definitely a full touch-oriented design from the ground up. I actually like the design better than the grid-of-icons approach. It's more sophisticated. And I'm not a zealot…
I read that the UI is not even smooth on the Meizu Pro 5, which isn't a slow phone.

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?
A lot of Android tablets get keyboards and even mice plugged into them.
Well, I'm happy with running the basic stuff using GNURoot. (I have no intention of running more complicate GUI apps anyway, even though that should be possible as well.)
