Like everything, there are pros and there are cons. Chromebook works just fine for that and at 1/4 of the price. I missed having a laptop that I could use while lounging on the couch or in my recliner, but I also had no desire to spend upwards of $1000 on a windows laptop or macbook just so I could browse the web and have an easier time typing. So emails and messaging and posting comments in Android Central felt like a chore.

The main reason I got tired with my tablet is because I did not enjoy typing on it at all. If you intend to use Chromebook primarily in laptop mode, then you should be pretty happy with it. I'm sure this is something that will be improved over time as devs need to tweak their apps for better compatibility with Chromebooks, but this is all in it's infancy right now so expect the worst and be pleasantly surprised when you find an app that works just as well on Chromebook as it does on your phone or tablet. That said, be prepared for apps to not function or display properly on your Chromebook. If you want to install a bunch of Android apps on your Chromebook, then make sure you get a 32GB Chromebook. Of course, Asus isn't the only brand out there with touchscreen Chromebooks so perhaps a more expensive one would provide a better tablet experience than this one. Touch accuracy definitely seems off compared to my tablet as well. The touchscreen is definitely sluggish and sometimes unresponsive. It's a nice feature but it's not as responsive as my tablet.which is a very cheap Samsung Galaxy Tab A. If you intend on primarily using the Asus Flip in tablet mode, then don't bother with it. I'm 2 or 3 weeks into my attempt at replacing my tablet with an Asus Chromebook Flip, so here's my 2 cents:
