Just an input from a Nexus 7 user.#1 must be a bug. That tablet has way more powerful hardware than Nexus 7 and I don't encounter too much lag when multiple apps are open. Yeah some stutters and slow down happens but not really noticeable. I actually tested convergence yesterday and Xmir is now working decently on it and got Firefox, Nautilus and Ubuntu SDK running simultaneously without much lag though I don't interacted with them that much.

 Subject: [Ubuntu-phone] M10 Tablet - First Impressions
   
Hi people, thought I'd post up a few initial impressions with the FHD M10 
tablet. Have had it for a couple days now and been putting it through it's 
paces. All up - great job! Awesome hardware, and the system is lots of fun 
to use.

Firstly, I'm typing this in desktop mode paired top a Logitech keyboard and 
hp bluetooth mouse. Keyboard works flawlessly, mouse works best when one or 
two apps are open. More causes it to stutter.

Have tried an external display a couple times - works great both with a 
projector and smaller tv monitor. 

Overall the tablet works well, and is shaping up to be a great experience. 
Here are a few bugs I found so far - feel free to let me know the best 
place to report them and I'll post them up.

1. Mouse gets very laggy when more than a couple apps are open - very hard 
to scroll, let alone move it anywhere. Is this hardware related (i.e., not 
enough power yet), or OS (i.e., still being optimised)?
2. Switching between apps in desktop mode is very slow - worse with a 
mouse, however still slow with touch if more than a couple apps are open. 
Again - is this hardware or OS related?
3. Bug in initial download of the updated 10.1 ota - couldn't do it until I 
changed the timezone to manually with my location. 
4. Love the sidestage, however took me time to work out that I needed to 
tap with three fingers on the screen to dismiss it. Very slick now, but 
without saying this somewhere, it's difficult to figure out. Would be best 
on the instructions on the side stage when no app is there to say this, or 
at the very least the first time it's run.
5. In general, the system still has a fair bit of lag - noticeable when 
switching scopes, and watching videos while streaming (youtube, etc.) Again 
- OS or software related?
6. X11 apps are confusing. The gui is different (ouch! So small!!!!!!), and 
on screen keyboard doesn't work with them. Imho, I think there should be a 
seperate 'legacy apps' scope. Bundling them together with other apps that 
work great (Dekko, Unav, etc.) gives the impression they should also work 
as well. They don't.
7. Libreoffice is usable with a keyboard and mouse, but the font for all 
the settings is miniscule. This makes it painful to read. Would be great if 
there was some way to manually change this.
8. GPS doesn't work with the tablet - the daemon seems to continually be 
restarting, making it unusable. The only option has been to disable it 
entirely. Have filed a bug for this.

All up though, a great experience. There's no way in it's current form this 
table t can serve as a desktop - even my aging ultrabook - replacement. 
That said, working within it's current limitations, I've only opened my 
laptop a couple times since having it. Great job people - I'm looking 
forward to seeing where this goes.

Mitchell
