Given the option between these two tablets, which would you pick and why? Personally I'm leaning a bit towards the slate (over the pixel XL 3) this year as a stop gap since this year's phones are kinda underwhelming and a bit disappointing.
That and I want a bit of a larger device for media consumption. ChromeOS sounds a bit different. It could be possible to root since ads are getting ridiculous (seriously they should just put content in the ad banner and make the rest of the website a clickable ad since a lot of places are mostly ads anyway with way less content... Errr tangent over...)
Also thought maybe Linux could be shoehorned on to the thing or perhaps Google's experimental Android ender. The slate would probably be serviced a bit longer as well.
Are you looking at the slate?
