this is not Ubuntu with Unity7/X11 this is running Unity8/Mir and the UI was design for touch first Phones and Tablets and later on for Desktop. you can see here how it looks on the phone/tablet/desktop https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aK06gUMuK-Q

So why is it so laggy in the video?

I actually would really like a linux system suitable for a tablet that you could connect a screen and keyboard to for proper work, but I'd like it to run a bit smoother than this.

This is work in progress, like pre-alpha. I suppose that as soon as it works reliably (no library crashes, etc), then it would be time for optimizations.

That's what they promised for the phones and the old version. The old version worked much better on the Aquaris M10 already. What is visible in this video is a huge step backwards.

I think it is too early to have such a verdict.

This is probably the very first video showing off Ubuntu Personal on the Aquaris M10 and the interest is to see how it will progress in the following weeks.
