The idea of ChromeOS is "cloud first".  But there is some provision
for doing offline work.

If you use Android apps on this tablet, you get and Android
experience.  But better because you device support is much longer.

If you install Linux, you get a Linux experience.  With the expected
amount of cloudiness.
