How does this compare to Dex mode on the S7+ or S8+?

Chrome operating system is very similar to dex actually. I'd say that the biggest difference is that with both, some of the apps won't work 100%. I actually find that on Dex android apps work better than on a chromebook most of the time. There may be sizing issues though with dex and some are locked into the wrong layout (ie portrait instead of landscape).

They don't support Netflix app, side loaded Netflix app, but that limits video quality at 480P and also doesn't allow offline viewing option.

Netflix can be watched using browser, but offline viewing is deal breaker for me.

This Chromebook should be supported for another 7+ years with monthly software updates (June 2029). And each update may add new, improved features. Updates will be less (less timely, less frequent, less longevity) for any other device.

https://support.google.com/chrome...=%2Clenovo

Edit: As a comparison to an Android tablet, I always say Chromebooks are what Android tablets should have been. It's already a computer/laptop first, plus ability to run most Android apps (some compatibility issues). This, and most other Chromebooks also support USI pen/stylus, have both a touch friendly tablet mode and standard desktop version, can easily be docked via USB-C and use as a desktop. Functionality can be expanded with Linux app support, with broader virtual machine support expected in the future. So, by most measures, this or other higher end Chromebooks will have more going for them than even high end Android tablets.

Edit 2: This runs a Snapdragon 7c Gen 2 , which is more of a overclocked mid-range processor, and has eMMC storage, slower than the UFS and NVMe others have, so less powerful than actual high-end Chromebooks and less performant than those higher end Samsung tablets.

You may need to hold the power button for a few seconds to turn it on without using the keyboards wake/open feature. I am not sure as I don't own it but I had to do this on a few other tablets like this in the past.

Well, there goes my idea. It sounds like it's maybe a software issue but still not a good sign from a new computer. Good luck.

Ok wow, so just using this thing, multiple web pages crash with the "aw snap", not worth it for me, going back.

Quality products are becoming increasingly difficult to come by.
