- Hey everybody, I'm back, and this is Processor,

and I have discovered the best Chrome tablet

It supports LTE, natively, on the device.

It actually works in tablet mode instead of the janky fiasco

If web apps don't cover all of your needs,

you could also Windows Apps because, yeah,

the Surface Pro X using the new Edge browser.

Look, let's get this out of the way right at the top.

that I am not telling you to buy this computer.

I am definitely not doing that because as specced,

this costs more than seventeen hundred dollars,

and even though there are some discounts on it right now,

Plus, you know, I've already reviewed this computer

and I decided that the app problem is really serious.

which means that there some app compatibility hassles.

Well, there's now an official version of the Edge browser,

and more specifically, there's an official beta

of the Edge browser that uses ARM code directly

and of course it has the Chromium engine.

means that a lot of Windows apps run in emulation,

and some apps don't even work at all, like Lightroom.

But, now there's a good Chromium-based web browser

and so what if I just used this thing to run web apps,

and what if instead of struggling with all of the hassles

that come from all that Windows emulation stuff,

I just treated this thing like a Chromebook

and only ran Windows apps when I really needed them?

I did it and I think I learned some stuff along the way.

So the main thing is that this thing runs Chrome,

I mean, sorry, it runs the Edge beta browser

I especially love how easy the Edge browser makes it

there's just a little button right in the URL bar

Also, the Edge browser supports Chrome extensions,

so all of the stuff that I'm used to using on Chrome

So I went and I grabbed this extension called Chrometana,

which automatically redirects all Bing searches

which means that you can actually use the Windows key

on your Windows computer like you did before.

because this Edge beta is running on ARM code,

and I think I'm getting way better battery life.

Like, on the average, it was, like, two hours more

which is about where I expected battery life

for this computer to be in the first place.

Okay, so how does all that compare to a Chromebook?

a really high end Chromebook, like my Pixelbook here.

Well, instead of the kinda janky Android apps

Like the Spotify app here actually works,

and like the play pause/button actually works.

Microsoft is really good at managing Windows.
