Main features

• Real multitasking:

  Ubuntu’s side stage allows a phone app on the screen at the same time as a tablet app to enable efficient multitasking and improve the usability of phone apps on tablets.

• Secure multi-user:

  Multiple accounts on one tablet with full encryption for personal data, combined with the trusted Ubuntu security model makes it ideal for work and family use.

• Voice controlled HUD productivity:

  The Heads-Up Display makes it fast and easy to do complex things on touch devices and transforms touch interfaces for rich applications, bringing all the power of the PC to your tablet.

• Edge magic for cleaner apps:

  All four screen edges are used for navigation between apps, settings and controls, which means less clutter, more content, and sleeker hardware. No physical or soft buttons are required.

• Content focus:

  Media is neatly presented on the customisable home screen, which can search hundreds of sources.
