I am considering getting a new Android tablet and installing Ubuntu Touch on it.
On the Ubuntu "Operators and OEMs" page, there is a table of the hardware requirements to run Ubuntu Touch on a tablet. Here is the table:
Entry level consumer High-end Ubuntu
Ubuntu tablet enterprise tablet
Processor arch. Dual-core Cortex A15 Quad-core A15 or Intel x86
Memory 2GB preferred 4GB preferred
Flash storage 8GB minimum 8GB minimum
Screen size 7-10 inch 10-12 inch
Multi-touch 4 fingers 4-10 fingers
Full desktop No Yes
convergence
So, my question is:
What is the difference between the "Entry level consumer Ubuntu tablet" and the "High-end Ubuntu enterprise tablet" and do I care? And what is this "Full desktop convergence" feature?
Ubuntu Touch is a variant of Ubuntu for smartphones and tablets. Higher-end Ubuntu smartphones will be able to run a full Ubuntu desktop when connected to a monitor and keyboard, a feature pioneered in Ubuntu for Android.
Ubuntu for Android is a variant of Ubuntu designed to run on Android phones, which provides a windowing application environment and desktop environment of Ubuntu when the phone is docked to lapdock. It is expected to come preloaded on several phones.
