I have a Vaio "convertible" and I've been pretty disappointing about the convertible functionality for two main reasons:
a) It weighs too much too use as a tablet
b) It didn't come with a stylus for drawing diagrams
So, I've certainly been disappointed by this trend, but I think it can work and the Surface line is a good example of this; many people are quite happy with theirs.
I don't think this particular chromebook makes a compelling case for the "as a tablet" use case, which seems odd given the Android app focus.
- NotSammyHagar 10y agoThis one comes with a style, weight 2.x pounds, so maybe it works for you? What is the weight limit?
- Eridrus 10y agoMy Vaio weighs 2.9 pounds, this weighs 2.4. My wife's iPad Pro weighs 1.6, and I think that's probably close to the upper limit of what I would want a tablet to weigh. I don't know if weight distribution is also an important factor since I can tell my vaio is definitely not evenly weighted. I don't think this chromebook is for me, I just wanted to say that I don't think convertibles as a category are doomed, they are just harder to get right than other categories.
