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!
