After a certain angle, the keyboard is inactivated and the laptop acts like
a touch-screen tablet with an on-screen keyboard.  That said, I never use
the 2-in-1 in tablet mode.  For me, it's too awkward.  When I'm reading
a book or article, I prefer my iPad or Kindle ( if outside in daylight ).
In the future, I'll probably get a tablet Chromebook and a folio case with
a bluetooth keyboard that is backlit. Something like the Lenovo 10e.

Yes, the display rotates 90, 180, and 270 degrees as you rotate the
Chromebook, just like a tablet.
