“So does this device basically turn into a laptop when attached to the keyboard, and then a tablet when detached? Also, would this work well for online college classes? I'm looking for a 2-in-1 Chromebook that will excel at this.”

Yes and I find the split screen function (resizable windows) excellent. For college, you would always have to use keyboard to protect screen while traveling. I can definitely see this as a good use for school. Just remember that OLED screens are very sensitive to ultraviolet light. You really should not use an OLED screen outside with the sun. What really made me buy it is the ability to use android apps instead of running mostly everything in Chrome browser as an addon.

Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Hi there, Thank you for your inquiry! When the keyboard is attached to the Duet 5, the system's layout and interface will be in a desktop mode, and when detached, the device layout and interface enters a form of tablet mode to allow for a more touch friendly experience. As far as the use that you intend for this Chromebook, it could work well for you, as many other users in reviews have done the same. This will be predominately dependent on if there's any software that you may need to use for classes, as some need to use programs like a lockdown browser and more which is not compatible with the ChromeOS operating system.
