The Asus Chromebook Flip works great as a ChromeOS 'tablet' - just assuming that you use it in laptop mode 90% and tablet 10% of the time.

Trying to use ChromeOS 90% of the time in tablet mode just isnt going to work

Should of gone with a slimmed down Pixel with a flip or slide keyboard (with trackpad) - that wold of been awesome and actually make sense

Pixel C doesnt work

Anyone whose tried to use Android as a laptop replacement - with keyboard etc.. knows the pain - Android doesn't work as a 'work' device/laptop - wish it would but it currently just doesnt :(

What are the main pain points of using android with a keyboard? People have mentioned not having split screen, however IOs just got that a fee months ago, and people used it with keyboards Lal the time before that.
Mostly slow application switching on my case. It's significantly better than on iPad due to OS having better keyboard support (yes, even the Pro keyboard is awful to use), but it doesn't really compare to proper desktops.
