Hi folks, quick update on using this awesome tablet - am on the island of 
Borneo (Kalimantan, Indonesia) with a theatre project deep in the heart of 
the island. Have taken the M10 with me and am loving it. Not quite a 
desktop replacement, but very close at this stage - most days I don't need 
to open my laptop, and can do most of my work on this device. It's been 
invaluable to have something I can easily transport to different areas, 
take pictures (camera app), write notes (Notes App), Email, Telegram 
contacts, check translations - highly useful. For those interested, here's 
a link to our project blog: www.orang-utan.com.au/category/project-updates

I don't have much time for bug reports, but if it's useful, here's some 
feedback:

1. Overall, awesome device!
2. Sync works beautifully with Syncthing, however have had to use an 
unconfined version - currently not enough usability with the default system 
not to have an unconfined sync app of some description (Owncloud, 
SyncThing, etc.). Currently I'm syncing between a laptop, phone (Ubuntu), 
and server. 
3. Libreoffice on this is awesome! To get the most functionality however, 
I've needed to bind mount folders where I keep our project data (on the 
sdcard) - would be great in the future if there was an easier way to do 
this
4. Calendar and contacts sync works great through Owncloud & syncevolution 
- have not needed to make my device writable for this.
5. Looking forward to the lag being fixed in the gui, particularly when in 
Desktop mode.

Thanks again people - am enjoying the ride, and looking forward where this 
system goes next.

Mitchell
