This has been hidden in developer options for a while now, but they're now releasing it officially. Limited to Pixel 8 and newer devices and no 4k yet.

No, it's a phone with a monitor and keyboard. As far as I'm concerned a Chromebook is also not a PC, it's a phone that's shaped like a laptop.

I consider my phone to be a PC, and my work phone not to be, because one is clearly a personal computer, and the other a work computer.

A Chromebook has literally no phone related functionality. No SMS or calling.
