I honestly can’t tell if it’s a clunky tablet, or an incompetent computer. Maybe both?
But wow, NINE HUNDRED dollars for a weird hybrid that runs freaking ANDROID? Wow. Just wow. Now that is a tremendously stupid idea if I ever saw one.
You can get a Neo straight from Apple for $699 and that thing runs full-blown macOS (and is most certainly of a much better build than any of these could ever dream of being).
I can already picture the Googlebook tombstone in the ever-growing Google graveyard.

Who is this even for?
