    Is this really better than proper Linux in any way? Other than native play store, which means you can run shitty phone apps stretched fullscreen. Not sure I see the benefit.

      Today.

      Once devs see the use-case, maybe they'll build support for larger screens.

      I use Android Subsystem for Windows on my laptop to run some Android apps that have data sync but crappy (or no) web clients. It's way better than a website, even with a non-native screen layout.

      I can also see a lot of younger folks who grew up with mobile devices preferring the simpler UI/functionality of mobile interfaces (as frustratingly limited as I find them).

      I hate to admit it, but I see a real use-case for this. Using something that's between a tablet and a laptop, with tablet battery life and weight, but a real keyboard and mouse, be great for say sales, techs, etc.

      Guess we'll see.
