That's reasonable, but perhaps due to the strange diverse nature of the ChromeBook with Crostini Linux (and optionally WINE on Intel, though there is an Intel Emulator for WINE for ARM) this might be a case where the new section would attract the posts. It's curious that the ChromeBook is now supposed to be outselling tablets and laptops in USA and elsewhere has higher growth or not as much falling sales.

I had a Windows 10 Tablet with Keyboard for a while and it was curiously frustrating compared to Win10 on laptop or Android on a Tablet. It really was only useful as poor laptop.

The Chromebooks / ChromeOS started off totally rubbish, but current version running on Gentoo Linux with Debian 12 in a container isn't bad. Odd that the Android apps on it seem poorer than Linux & WINE programs. I looked at ChromeOS Flex for an old Laptop, but it's pointless compared to native Linux or a real current ChromeBook because there is no Playstore.

It's also odd that the unified settings page is better organised than any version of Android I've had. I expect the ARM version is better for Android apps and run time, though the 6 hrs on my Intel is achieved by having almost half the internal area as battery!
