I'm quite ignorant of tablets as I've yet to take the plunge.  If one
replaces Android with Ubuntu, does one still have access to important
features like the screen keyboard and auto-rotating the orientation? If
not, how does one type on it? Requiring a wireless keyboard would
somewhat diminish the purpose of a tablet - John
