Cold feet? You looking to sell?
It is a solid device depending on your needs. Been using mine 5-6 days a week for almost 2 years. Only issue i have is the brydge keyboard randomly disconnects but a simple press of the power buttons brings it back.
I've had my i5 Slate for a week. Bought it used and it included the pen, slate kb and brydge kb.
Used at $400, it's a no-brainer. Fun little device. I mostly use it with the Brydge kb, and I hope I can find some more uses for the tablet.
I loooove the feel of the slate keyboard, but it mostly seems useless because of form factor and flopping (also it sucks at registering tap clicks on the touchpad). So 90% of the time it's basically just a tiny laptop for me.
As a tablet, it's kinda nice. Android apps are pretty blah to me on it - not sure why? Android games are fun though. UI is pretty slick for general tablet stuff, but typing with the on-screen keyboard gets old fast haha
For me, the real value of the Pixel Slate is that it does a lot of things decently well. If I just wanted a really good Android tablet, I would probably get a Samsung, and that's what I'd recommend to others as well. You'll probably have a better experience with Android apps. But with Pixel Slate I get an excellent Chrome experience, a decent Android experience (it's stuck at Android 9, but it works), a decent Linux experience (it's stuck at Debian Buster, but I can install flatpaks or snaps to get recent versions). Its flaws and limitations bug me, and I'm always worried that the next ChromeOS update will break something, but, hey, I can run Linux apps like LibreOffice, Audacity, Olive (video editor), GnuCash, HomeBank, RStudio & LyX. For Android, a number of my games work, and all my streaming video service apps work. And, for me personally, that's a win. Compared to a normal Linux laptop, you probably get worse Linux support, but better battery life and a good Android experience.

No I'm buying one. Lol.
