ChromeOS is 14 years old, not really sure why they’re just now going this route.
Android laptops are nothing new, unless you don’t count the crappy low end ones that have no business running it.
I’m sure Google will make their flagship apps nicely tailored but regular phone centric apps has to be an awkward experience.
I like ChromeOS but really having two different operating systems is a liability.
Despite all the effort they've put into it, chromeOS is worse at running Android apps than android tablets except for support for having them in resizable windows.
All they need to do is improve the support for a laptop mode on android and make chrome on android in the laptop mode equivalent to chrome on ChromeOS and they can kill ChromeOS entirely.
It makes no sense to have to choose between two operating systems
You should be able to get a fully compatible android like experience in tablet mode and a chromebook like experience in laptop mode all in one os
And the ChromeOS like experience should be available on any android tablet if you use it with a keyboard
