I really cannot think of any other than it would be more like a laptop without a keyboard. browsers would have tabs and you could minimize screens and work between screens easier.

Chrome no, but Google's attempt to go fuchsia intrigues me and I would like to see them put out something like a surface pro with the merged Android-chrome hybrid that is priced closer to that of the Samsung chromebook plus vs the pixelbook

I liked the surface pro looks, too bad the os is worthless and it is so expensive :) I have considered chromebooks in the past but that was as far as it went. to me android is more powerful.
