Ditto Posted March 26, 2018 Posted March 26, 2018 News: Acer Chromebook Tab 10 Is the First Chrome OS Tablet What do you think - too pricey for early years/infant or just the job?
FN-GM Posted March 27, 2018 Posted March 27, 2018 There is another thread about it somewhere. When compared to the iPad it is good value. You can properly manage it it. I can see people moaning about putting in proper passwords instead of pin codes.

Possibly, although being a Chrome OS device it should (at least in theory) receive updates for 6.5 years so it will work out cheaper overall compared to an equivalent Android tablet. As to whether they physically last that long when used by very little kids is another matter.
jmak Posted March 27, 2018 Posted March 27, 2018 Depends on the price - it'd need to be significantly cheaper than the convertible Chromebooks to make sense to me.

Robertmap Posted April 10, 2018 Posted April 10, 2018 HP has launched the Chromebook x2 detachable , it has a 12.3-inch, 2K display and runs on an Intel Core m3-7Y30 CPU, 4GB of RAM and 32GB of eMMC storage.
Arthur Posted April 10, 2018 Posted April 10, 2018 HP has launched the Chromebook x2 detachable Looks good, but it would have been nice to have double the storage. Related thread: www.edugeek.net/forums/cloud-services/192613-acer-tablet-running-chrome-os-spotted-bett.html#post1666457
Ditto Posted April 10, 2018 Author Posted April 10, 2018 Agree storage looks light for the price. Also, I'm not sure detachable's are good in a school environment. The connector is likely to take a pounding and the chances of the parts going there separate ways is a concern.
atcoates Posted July 19, 2018 Posted July 19, 2018 Verge Review. Chrome OS isn’t ready for tablets yet
Arthur Posted September 6, 2018 Posted September 6, 2018 Chrome OS isn’t ready for tablets yet It will be on 23rd October. Google targets Chrome OS 70 for major tablet-focused UX overhaul We’ve heard rumours that Google would merge Android and Chrome OS for a few years, though the rumoured “Andromeda” never came to be. While the two operating systems never merged, we have seen them borrow ideas from each other. Android Nougat‘s seamless update feature is basically ripped straight from Chrome OS. We’ve seen how Chrome OS has gained many features aimed at making the experience better for tablets and detachables in the wake of the demise of Android tablets. Even though the first Chromebook tablet and detachable have already released, Chrome OS just isn’t ready for these form factors. But that’s going to change in Chrome OS 70 as Google plans to ship all of their tablet features for the upcoming release.
