Doesn't detect when in tablet mode

I am on an Asus Vivobook Flip 14 but when I change into tablet mode on the latest special build the UI doesn't change into tablet mode.

I'd like to add the Lenovo Yoga 2 Pro Convertible to this. Rotation is not recognized as well, I assume for the same reason.

Surface Go also.

Try adding --enable-touchview --force-tablet-mode --force-tablet-power-button to /etc/chrome_dev.conf and reboot, note that on some devices (like HP Elite X2 and maybe some convertibles) may need to remove the keyboard or to flip the keyboard deck to trigger the tablet mode (not guaranteed, it's all hardware dependant). For me it works on 76 Special + ChromeOS, you may try your luck.

Also about the rotation, there may be extra drivers needed for the sensor hub to make it work. So even enabling this option wont guarantee you autorotation. Also, plugging any type of pointing/typing peripheral, the tablet mode will be disabled automatically.
