All,
Silly question maybe, but I'm thinking about the Pixel tablet (when it comes down in price) but what are the differences between this and a decent Chromebook?

sorted byThe Chromebook is probably more suitable if looking for a laptop alternative while the Pixel tablet may be better for things like media consumption etc. You could also connect a Bluetooth keyboard with tablets but if that's the main purpose then a laptop/laptop alternative like a Chromebook might be a better option.
Have a look at this for a quick read (fairly recent):

The big advantage of a Chromebook for web stuff is that it's a full desktop browser compared to the tablet versions. But like I use a mix of machines. Main desktop is linux, mini desktop is gaming for stuff I can't get to work under wine, android tablet and phone and a Cbook (Pentium based, not 360 screen, but is touch). Just about to replace the linux desktop with a pentium mini machine as it's almost as powerful as the old desktop. But the Cbook goes on holiday with me and gets pulled out occasionally at home. But more often than not, I use the tablet for browsing, due to convenience.
