The hardware is not that essential (to me,) but the software is the Remix OS. You can expect something similar from the Google's project.

Tablets mostly took a back seat at CES this year, but there were still a few interesting announcements that came from Vegas, including one from a new company called Jide. Founded by some former Google senior engineers, the company introduced its Remix "ultra-tablet" with the promise that it would improve the productivity of those using the Android OS.

It certainly looks better than Windows 10. Though pretty much every OS nowadays looks better than Win10 :-)

But indeed this is a great illustration of my assertion that Desktop Android would be usable and beneficial to many, if not most, PC users. Even the most valuable resource of Windows - the large number of applications written for WIN32 API - is being slowly but surely reduced in relevance because a lot of modern development happens on Android and on iOS - except industrial applications; for them the only acceptable hardware platforms are PCs, and those currently run only Windows/Mac/Linux.
