Chromebook better than a tablet for browsing the web?

...not sure if serious. - guy that owns both

Dead serious, having mouse movement and a keyboard is pretty awesome.

I have a keyboard for my iPad too, but it serves no purpose other than text input. I can't scroll with the arrow keys.

Proof I'm not just talking out of my ass.

Presumably people have been porting Ubuntu onto the Pixel to make it useful?

Large text input is different, but when it just comes to browsing and consuming (read: reading, watching, listening), the tablet experiences feels so natural for the web. Don't understand why you would want to use arrows to scroll. It's completely antithetical.

Google Music Megaton: It's live, and you can finally edit metadata, or even delete incorrectly tagged tracks and reupload correct ones.

I'm with you, man. I've got a Chromebook and tablet and find browsing the web much easier on my Chromebook. Touch-screen browsing just feels clunky to me. YMMV

Nah, I prefer the Chromebook for most of that. My tablet is fine for watching short YouTube videos but when I'm watching something on Netflix I want the laptop/chromebook. More comfortable for longer usage.

Also holy shit that hair lol
