Which would be more useful to you: An Ubuntu Unity 16.04 x86 / Android 5.1 x86 2-in-1 tablet with a 9"-10" screen? or An Ubuntu Unity 16.04 x86 / Android 5.1 x86 / Windows 10 Home/Pro 2-in-1 tablet with a 9"-10" screen?
I'd rather have a pure Ubuntu 16.04 tablet, but can live with Android along it - absolutely no need or use for windows on a tablet.

I would prefer that myself. though I do play World of Tanks Blitz on Android quite a bit. Just trying to get a gauge of what people would want on an x86 tablet for operating system(s). I know someone that is finalizing the hardware and testing for an x86 tablet, and he was trying to figure out which OS to offer on to it first or if multi-boot option would hold more appeal to users.

So, how about Android 6.0 in place of 5.1?
Ubuntu with an android emulator/api similar to WINE to leverage the massive number of existing Android apps semi-natively.
That could be a possible option. I don't know how much it would drag the system down though.

For now cinnamon is my most preferred desktop so mint would be a acceptable substitute. Not sure how well a normal desktop will work for a 9"-10" screen.
