Under the hood, the tablets are equipped with 1.5GHz MediaTek quad-core MT8163A processor paired with 2 GB of RAM and 16 GB of internal storage. However, not all of the memory space is usable as only 11.2 GB is allotted for use while the rest is reserved for the system software. Users can opt to expand up to 200 GB of additional storage via a microSD card slot. There's also an 8-megapixel rear camera with autofocus and 5-megapixel front camera included in both variants of the tablet.

Both will be running with Canonical's Ubuntu OS version 15.04 and will feature PC-tablet convergence when attached with external display, mouse, or keyboard. As for the battery life, the tablets are powered with whopping 7,280mAh batteries.
