I think it would be a **very** cool device to showcase Ubuntu Touch/personal on.

Because it is already both a phone and a laptop. But in it's current form, it can only be one at a time (dual boot android and some form of GNU/Linux). Load Ubuntu Touch/Personal on it and boom. You get both at the same time, with plenty of connectivity (USB-C x2) to **really** make use of convergence apps.

But maybe I'm just daydreaming...

Thoughts?

From the look it seems to be a really cool device. But, they suffer perhaps
the same problem: no open source drivers for the atenna chips (GPS, GPRS, sensors, ...). That's why the use dual boot.
