How life appears when all your computing needs fit into one device


It’s been an exciting few weeks with the launch of our first fully converged device, the Aquaris M10 Ubuntu Edition tablet. To celebrate this and to gain deeper insights we held a competition last month that asked the community – what their life would look like if all their computing needs fitted into one device?

With almost 400 entries we whittled down some of favourite insights below including the winners – happy reading!

  • I love the thought of a machine I can easily use at my desk and standing on the train
  • Less complicated, more efficient
  • One day we will look up and laugh about the fact that we used to have a different device and operating system for every job

  • #UbuntuReinvents so I can be truly mobile
  • Life unified. All your threads woven together
  • All my computing and communications in one adaptive device…Goodbye backpack, hello pocket

  • Coding has defined the way we live,that device will change the way we code & it’ll be revolutionary
