# 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](http://www.ubuntu.com/tablet/devices). 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!

* No more back pains and no more headaches
* I love the thought of a machine I can easily use at my desk and standing on the train
* Less complicated, more efficient
* One day we will look up and laugh about the fact that we used to have a different device and operating system for every job
* It would be like wearing a reinvented loincloth: light and sufficient. Not need anything else at all
* #UbuntuReinvents so I can be truly mobile
* Life unified. All your threads woven together
* All my computing and communications in one adaptive device…Goodbye backpack, hello pocket
* Mobile and desktop computing: it is now one and the same. Easy, everywhere, inexpensive
* Packing to travel for work would be easier. Just take the Ubuntu tablet + keyboard
* I would only have to worry about one battery!
* Dreaming about having more bag space
* This means to me simply next-gen everything
* Easy -Simple -Creative -Affordable -Productive -Effective
* Coding has defined the way we live,that device will change the way we code & it’ll be revolutionary
* A single device for all computing? It’d be like every SciFi universe ever, where everyone has an omnitool for all purposes
* One Device to rule them all, One Device to find them. One Device to bring them all and in Convergence bind them

**And our winners!**

* It’s like backpacking without a backpack #UbuntuReinvents
* Basically I’d just walk around all day feeling like this guy. “Make it so.” #UbuntuReinvents
