You can either detach the keyboard from the tablet and use the tablet alone, or if you need to keep the keyboard handy you can detach the tablet, flip it around backwards, and then "close" the device. The keyboard will be concealed behind the back of the tablet, and the screen will be facing up. So, the screen does not fold around 360 degrees like a Chromebook Pro or a Flip, but when you do remove and reverse the tablet/screen portion and close it up, you can use it as a tablet without feeling the keyboard keys underneath in your hand. All of that being said, detaching the tablet/screen from the keyboard is a very nice experience and much superior to the other Chromebook convertibles.
