It saves me from wasting time connecting my keyboard accessory to my tablet to take a partial screenshot of my textbook. With the improved capture mode, I can quickly access the screen recorder and capture tools from the shelf quick settings while in tablet mode. Going through those steps is tedious and annoying, especially when I'm trying to get work done. My Pixel Slate is limited to full screenshots in tablet mode, meaning I have to manually crop and resize my captures before importing them to my notebook app.

The improved screen capture also solves another significant gripe with tablet mode on Chrome OS. With the improved screen capture, students can intuitively capture their screen and fully control their footage. I'm fortunate to own an Elgato HD 60 Pro capture card, which is terrific for recording class lectures, but I can't use it while I'm on the go. Most students struggling financially (like myself) don't want to invest in a subscription to remove a "free" screen recorder's limitations. I'm always recording my online class lectures to reference my professor's notes and catch any critical announcements I might've missed. Recording the screen natively on Chrome OS will be significant for students, especially with distance learning.
