My big question about the Slate is its ergonomics (with keyboard) relative to a regular laptop/Chromebook. It looks to be somewhat better ("snaps in place") and the keyboard is approximately "normal." But there's still something folded behind the tablet/screen in the photo.
My issue with all these combo devices is that they're not as good for using a laptop in all sorts of random locations and positions--which pretty much describes how I use them at events and otherwise traveling. Some are better than others but I've yet to have anyone tell me that they're just as good as a laptop for using on your lap--which is sort a dealbreaker for me.
As I understand it, Google was also rumored to be announcing a more conventional PixelBook upgrade at this event but that didn't happen.
