I really look forward to desktop experience on Android tablets.

For personal use, 2-in-1 (laptop+tablet) conceptually makes a lot of sense. But I think 2-in-1 laptops go the wrong way -- they are full laptops with bad tablet experiences (because of weight, or desktop-first Windows OS). But I want a good tablet in 80% of time. If Android have reasonably good desktop support (e.g., keyboard, mouse, window management), a tablet with a detachable keyboard will be enough to cover the rest 20% of use cases where I want a laptop.

Agreed, mostly. I've still some issues regarding the "you won't have root on your device" thing. However, if the whole stack is open-source and included in stock Android and appears in GOS, it will make me less wary of jumping to it.

PS: currently using Tuxedo 2-in-1!
