here's a tablet with a difference that difference namely being that it's running Ubuntu it's the BQ aquaris m10 abun 2 Edition tablet and it's got some tricks up its sleeves so unlike Android or iOS this tablet is running Ubuntu which is a very gesture based operating system so if you're not familiar let's give you a quick tour so for example if I swipe down over on the right here that's you've how you can quickly get to your settings and if you swipe in from the right that's where you can see a multitasking view of all the apps you've got running and quickly switch between them so far so good but the really impressive stuff comes when you plug in a keyboard because then this tablet automatically switches to a desktop view where instead of getting this tablet style full or split screen apps things become windowed much more like a traditional desktop so the idea there is that you really do only need one device to serve both as your tablet and your laptop I think it's a really cool idea although of course because it's running an operating system that's not so widely used to say Windows or Android you might not have as many apps to choose from the other specs are pretty standard this is a 10.1 inch display on the front that's a 5 megapixel camera for video calling or selfies on the back that's an 8 megapixel camera so I'd be surprised if this tablet is going to take on the heavy weights like Microsoft and Google but it is something a little bit different and I do really like that converged operating system idea anyway that's all for now for check out cnet.com slash them much more
