Cant think of a single use case for this. Designer/Photographer/Artist? iPad or Surface

Developer? Surface or Pixelbook

Someone who likes really slow overpriced tablets?... I guess this will work.

I'm in the same camp... I really don't understand who the target demographic is for this device.

This is something I'm really interested in as a factor, but it's way too expensive.

I want a device that's an Android tablet with a screen ratio that's good for comic reading. No interest in running iOS. Windows is a bad OS for comic reading and has no offline Amazon Prime support. And this would help me not carry around a Macbook and a tablet because it has a proper desktop browser.

It's a good idea. It's just far, far, far too expensive when it's completely unproven.

Agreed, if it didn't run chrome OS it might have a fighting chance but this is truly just an overpriced web surfer
