Windows OS is bad for a tablet compared to iPadOS.

iPadOS is bad as a laptop compared to Windows.

Nobody yet has been able to fully square the two different paradigms.



ChromeOS balances the different paradigms reasonably well with Crostini and the ability to run Linux-based applications with native hardware virtualization. Solves for every power-user case you can't get from Android or the browser.


As soon as I'm running virtualization to get an app to run the OS has already lost IMO.


It doesn't balance the privacy reasonably well.


I recommend the starlite if you don’t depend primarily on battery power. Personally won’t be going back to Apple’s golden handcuffs, and would never consider the user-hostile MS.


Operating on battery power is usually a pretty crucial requirement for a tablet.


It works for five hours or so on battery. But I mostly watch movies on it while plugged in.
