    Supposedly Google would have better time taking care of just one consumer OS instead of two, so Android is getting some PC features so that it will be able to replace ChromeOS in the future.

      Shoulda done that a long time ago. Do we think it will be released with accompanying hardware? Something similar to a NexDock or Razer’s Linda hardware?

        It’s part of AOSP so whoever ships Android probably could expose it to the user.
