Google Pixel Slate review: So close, yet so far, from being a perfect Chrome-Android tablet hybrid

Reviewing the Pixel Slate was like reviewing two devices. But when you attach it to the Pixel Slate Keyboard, it transforms into a premium Chromebook, with a large multitouch trackpad and PC-like multitasking. The Pixel Slate appears to be a dream 2-in-1, the rare hybrid device that truly conforms to your immediate needs. Where the iPad Pro and various convertible PCs fail to consider the jarring interface changes when switching from a touch-based UI to a keyboard-based UI, Google has designed Chrome OS's new hybrid interface specifically with the Pixel Slate in mind. Google understands that you'll use your Chromebook differently as a tablet than you would as a laptop. So the Pixel Slate deserves to be taken seriously as the next generation of both Chromebooks and Android tablets.
