Today Qualcomm CEO stated[0] that the combination of Android and ChromeOS, e.g. Android Computers, will be available on Snapdragon laptops. Maybe these X2 CPUs will be in those laptops.

For people complaining about battery control and android emulation on linux, ChromeOS is a boon.

You effectively get an actual Linux distro + most of android, with a side of Chrome. It's way closer to "a real computer" than an iPad for instance, and only loses to the Surface Pro/Z13 line in term of versatility IMHO.

It really wasn't bad, my only deal breakers were keyboard remapping being non existent and the bluetooth stack being flaky.

ChromeOS (at least Flex) supports keyboard remapping now.
