    ChromeOS does benefit from android apps for tablets. Chromebooks are next gen android tablets.

      I agree with the first statement and firmly disagree with the second. Chromebooks are not inherently tablets and they inherently do allow multiple windows open at once without split screen, something that you basically never see with the tablet computing paradigm.

        I didn’t get you. Tablets allow only to split screen (except for some launchers that allow a kind of tiling with multiple apps) while Chromebooks allow standard windows like any X/wayland DE, plus they allow tiling similar to tablets.

          Right, you just said the same thing as me but with more detail. Your earlier comment said Chromebooks are essentially tablets. I was saying they’re not like tablets because they have a more traditional desktop/window management paradigm.
