Well, you might want to instead get the new smaller Ipad pro. Would go nicely with your iphone 6. There is a slider keyboard available for the Iphone 6 that also looks nice. Allot you can do with that refund!

Especially if equations are involved. Also pdf document do not look as good using evince. At least that is my experience. Good thing I can use Latex!

Exciting stuff. I love the idea of a tablet that you can use as a desktop PC by connecting it to a docking station or separate keyboard / mouse. Looking forward to the first reviews.

MediaTek MT8163 chipset

for changing it out with some kind of functional OS.
From the source code itself:
Code:
/* Modified for Android. */
I predict it will instantly disappoint
Why ? this is a quote I found
which perfectly describes Ubuntu Android:
Is nothing but a web browser. Completely lacks any programs other than a calculator...
The only programs you can get are web based, which you obtain from the Chrome Web Store, where Google calls them "APPS", and they are far from Andy applications I have seen. However, this OS can be stable and if a web browser is all you need, then I guess Chrome OS is okay for that.
Ooops - Google's Android provides the foundation for Ubuntu.)
Why can there be no native linux on a Mediatek device ?

That's why
[disclaimer - I really dislike being the source of horribly
gone-wrong news, but until I see something decent
I will simply tell it like I see it.
I do own, use and keep updated/upgraded a Ubuntu phone,
but I do not trust it any further than I can throw it]
Maemo Fremantle has always been and as yet remains
an order of magnitude better than Ubuntu Phone ever can be
