This is the same client so I assume that is a yes
Currently unknown, the app gets updated each time the mobile gets some UI changes.
So I’d say that the mobile and the windows app beta are the same client (maybe, i am not sure)

Nope, although my laptop is touchscreen (360d too) I always play on keyboard, also double checked that tablet mode was off, i think its because its registering devices as pc/mobile based on whether they have touch or not, and not on keyboard or mouse.
It depends on what position you have the device in.
You can’t opt in, but credits to @LucasTutoriaisSaimo this is what you can do.
Right Click on Roblox Player, and click properties.
Once your in you’ll get this panel, renamed RobloxPlayerClient to RobloxPlayerBeta
Then press Apply, then OK. Now don’t run roblox by clicking on the play button on a game. Double-Click the desktop icon that you were able to get the properties panel on.
It should open the new roblox, but if it doesn’t, put " infront of the C:\ and put " at the end of ‘exe’. Then you see where it says -app? Put --app instead.
That should work! There’s currently not a way to do it on mac or linux.

I really like it! It seems to be smoother than the regular client.
However…
There are a few issues.
- It lags when you first start it up, while the icons on the home page load. After that, it is very smooth.
- The enter button doesn’t work when you want to leave the game.
If the enter key could be re-added, that would make things a lot easier, since I usually do escape > L > Enter to leave games.
Edit:
I think this should be part of the app without having to open up a window:

Certain parts of the application are unfinished. It’s using an embedded version of IE11 temporarily.
Do you have a good computer?

Roblox is working on it, hopefully they make the group page part of the app!
Why would they use an embedded version if IE11 and not Edge? That doesn’t make sense…
And yes, I have a good computer.

Could the CPU and the integrated graphics possibly be the bottleneck?
You sort of already can.

I had the app enabled on my old computer, but I recently got a new one and I’m not sure how to get the app back. Is it device specific or can I still gain access to it on a new computer?
Take a look at the topic that I linked right above your post. 
After some investigation, I found out it DOESN’T have VR support and is LAGGIER than the normal RobloxPlayerBeta executable.

This roblox client isn’t very different, It just has so many UI elements
I think it’s more optimized for Android & IOS? Maybe.
I actually modified the directory thing for the Roblox Player shortcut and it is basically like the mobile versions, but in-game it’s the same as it is on PC. Of which lags more. So how is this “more optimized for Android and iOS”?
He was referring to the user interface, right?
