Tablet is almost free, just don't have a hinge and have a touchscreen. Release as Chromebook, it will run Android applications

    Linux can run Android apps since we have Waydroid too and it's universal, no need for single device - single OS nonsense.

    You can install Linux on their Chromebooks, so it would be good to have the choice. Some people will prefer a slightly more seamless Android experience and some people will prefer Waydroid

    Chromebook makes sense. They could also do full on Linux. Star labs has a tablet coming out, so they don't have to reinvent the wheel for software (I assume, I haven't tried touchscreen Linux).
