Looking to fit as much in your suitcase as possible? Well…we have a solution! We didn’t design the [M10 tablet](http://www.ubuntu.com/tablet/devices) to be as light as possible but that’s one of the advantages. The M10 is so versatile that it goes beyond just being your tablet – by connecting it to a bluetooth mouse and keyboard it can double-up as your laptop. This saves your from having to carry a heavier laptop around with you on your travels! We’ve calculated that the M10 vs the average laptop and it’s accessories saves you approximately **1.5kg!** Imagine all the extra items you could take with you in your suitcase with that much of a saving! And in fact, that’s what we’d like to know… ***What would you take with you on holiday if you had 1.5kg of extra space in your luggage?*** Let us know by tweeting crazy, insightful, real life answers with the hashtag #TravelLight and we’re open to photos, videos, GIFs, the works… The most imaginative 2x answers wins an M10 tablet and the next best 5x wins a bluetooth speaker!
