I need a cheap and lightweight computer with a keyboard for work traveling and personal use. I now use an iPad with a logitech bluetooth keyboard, but it is not ideal. The main problem is that it cannot run the full version of Google Sheets (with filters), which I need for work. There are many other problems, as iOS does not support keyboards well (even though it is improving).
Furthermore, I now own an Android smartphone, which I like, thus an Android tablet with a keyboard would be ideal.
The Pixel C seemed perfect. The keyboard is very nice and it runs Android. I thought that, being a Google product, it would be able to run the web versions of Google Docs and Sheets. But it can't.
The alternative is a Chromebook. But I would like to run some Android apps which I already own. A computer that can only run a browser is too limited.
This brings me to my question: why can't an Android tablet with 2GB of RAM run a full Chrome experience? If it could, the pixel would be much better than a Chromebook, at least for me.
