Be careful with the news: the BQ Aquaris M10 Ubuntu Edition can now be purchased. The first converged tablet on the market could book since last March 28, but it has not been until today that it has become available to buy it without waiting beyond the time it takes to get home from its comparators. We cannot know exactly how the delivery times are, since it seems that a complete order will have to be placed in order to know when they will arrive home. In any case, it shouldn't take long, but they will probably start arriving from April 21, the day Ubuntu 16.04 LTS (Xenial Xerus) will be officially released.
On the day of its presentation, in Ubunlog we wrote an article in which we told you what this BQ and Canonical tablet was like. There are two versions: a normal edition with an HD screen for € 219.90 and a FHD screen for a price of € 269.90. The screen will be the only difference between the two models, sharing the rest of the components exactly the same, such as the 64-bit MediaTek MT8163A processor quad-core and a Mali-T720 MP2 GPU or 3D sound.
The Aquaris M10 tablet arrives with Ubuntu 16.04 LTS
The BQ Aquaris M10 will ship with Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, but the tablet version will use a Unity 8 that will not be available in the desktop version until later, possibly in a different distribution than the standard one. In any case, the Aquaris M10 will use Ubuntu Touch with Canonical's upcoming graphical environment.
It must be recognized that its price is very competitive. For less than € 300 (buying a keyboard and a wireless mouse) we can have an entire desktop computer and a tablet with Ubuntu. The question is: are you going to buy the Aquaris M10 Ubuntu Edition?
