Intermatrix U7 Ubuntu Tablet

There will always be companies who love laying up on the superlatives, with claims of the “world’s first” or “world’s largest” thrown around, and this time around, we have the Intermatrix U7 which is touted to be the first Ubuntu-powered tablet in the world. Well, it hails from Australia, and is said to be up for pre-order although shipping is set to commence only in October.

At first glance, the Intermatrix U7 does seem to be a decent 7” tablet that sports a quad-core 1.5GHz Cortex A9 CPU, a quad-core Vivante GC1000+ GPU, 1GB RAM, 16GB of internal storage, and a 7″ IPS capacitive touchscreen display, but do bear in mind that the bare minimum for an Ubuntu tablet stands at 2GB RAM, so we hope that the final release will come with double the RAM stated, otherwise do expect sluggish performance from the Intermatrix U7.
