I'll still check it out. I'm curious how Android apps play on Chrome OS. My Chromebook is old enough I don't get to install Android apps on it.
If this had been released back in 2013 even at $499, I would've switched back then. Alas, we're too reliant on Apple services and iOS-specific apps now. The iPad's not simply a comic reader for me anymore. Besides, each family member has relatively recent iPads now (which, I expect, should be good for at least 3 more years). Replacing them en masse with Chromebook Tabs is an unnecessary expense.

In any case, the new device seems very interesting. It's been a long time since I last bought an Android tablet. I think Chrome OS + Android apps is probably a better route to take for tablets than pure Android. Definitely looking forward to a new toy to play with.
