And have crap QA/QC with battery, display, cooling issues.Chuwi tablets already dual boot Windows10 & Android for under $200
I don't understand the appeal. How is this better than Windows 2 in 1? And why exactly will this sell like hot cake? lol
It doesn't run Windows and has access to Android apps, so it actually has good tablet software such as temporary downloads from Netflix and Amazon Prime, and downloads on Comixology.
Exactly. I love my chromebook, but am ready for android apps so I can ditch my windows laptop and go 100% chrome.
This thing is a MUCH better value proposition than iPad Pro. I bought a $50 used Chromebook for ummm... stuff... but I might spring real money for this thing.
this is what I don't get. 100% chrome and android apps sounds like a nightmare. why would you want that?

One thing I can't quite find- any video out on this thing?
Im gonna guess eMMC for ARM snd SATA M.2 for Core M3. Will try to get confirmation first thing today at the show.I've been eager to get my hands on one of these since the rumors started to fly last year, but that eMMC storage has me worried. It's been an Achilles heel on the Android tablets I've tried so far. I wonder what that means for the performance of Android apps on this thing.
on linux I can install a c compiler and write code that runs on my machine without any hassle. is it possible to do that on chrome os?
as for apps I can't imagine a scenario where I'd want to ever run android apps on anything but a phone and even then it's mostly an annoying experience. it's literally the bottom-of-the-barrel of software engineering.
I guess windows would be fine too.
Just found out from Korean engineer on the project that the storage is soldered on board eMMC 5.0 (250/90 MB per second seq read/write) on both Plus and the Pro. In fact, the only difference is the SOC and support chips on the mobo. The ARM version is going to have a lot more thermal headroom than the Core M version, that's for sure.
eMMC storage is probably way cheaper currently than UFS.lol. Samsung being one of the pushers of UFS, and not using UFS on this is really cheap and stupid.
Friendly reminder that the Android app compatibility has so far been crap on Chrome OS, and I would be hesitating to drop $400+ if web browsing isn't your priority here.
The one thing that sucks about Chrome OS, is if you're browsing and something causes the browser to crash, which does happen frequently enough, your whole system locks up because well that's the OS. It's really annoying.

I use my chromebook for hours a day and literally never had that happen.
What is the state of adblocking on ChromeOS?

looks like preorder is up for the plus.

There are some third-party RDP extensions, but you are better off using Chrome Remote Desktop if you have the permissions to set it up on the server. It is free and multi-platform.
They can actually
Likelihood of it exploding?
hmm, so if basically everything else is the same, what's likely to be the greatest merit derived from buying the Pro model for the better CPU?Just found out from Korean engineer on the project that the storage is soldered on board eMMC 5.0 (250/90 MB per second seq read/write) on both Plus and the Pro.

Si. And likely less average battety life.hmm, so if basically everything else is the same, what's likely to be the greatest merit derived from buying the Pro model for the better CPU?
I imagine it could be added through a software update. These are the first Chromebooks with access to the play store. Android and ChromeOS are just starting to integrate.Weird that these don't have Google Assistant.
