Congrats!
The Pixelbook was able to replace both my 2014 11" MBA and 2015 12.9 iPad Pro. Considering what the current iPad Pro and Macbook Air sell for and what I can do with the PB (for far, far less cost) I'm delighted. Chrome OS 70 made using the PB as a tablet more enjoyable.
As for getting 7 years of use out of it, it depends. With the advances being made in Chrome OS and things like being able to dual-boot to Windows 10 (I have no plan on doing that), and support for Linux, I'd say that the chances are excellent that the PB will still be usable 7 years from now. Maybe not in the same way it is being used now.
