Pixel Tablet Review: Is Google Back?!

36 Comments

1. 499 is way to much for that junk.

2. "Google got a little lost" = "The project leading the Nexus team got promoted, and Google stopped caring."

3. 11:13 it's not scientific???

4. I totally have been wanting a tablet that I can use in my kitchen as a recipe reader of the recipes I have stored on my PC. I'm fine with sharing the folder and doing all that but can this tablet interface with my Win10 PC?

5. So it's a Tab S8 but worse

6. £500 is too much for a lower end smart display and is certainly not cheap

7. I really hope this takes off, or at least does well enough to spawn a kickass version 2 that inspires companies other than Samsung (and OnePlus…?) to start making Android tablets again.

8. Developers, developers, developers…

9. That speaker should have been bluetooth, and USB-C, not a proprietary connection.
   They should offer this for $400 without the speaker.

10. There's no way I'd pay £599 for this in the UK.. I bet they hardly sell any..

11. No headphone jack, pfft

12. Stadia, dropcam, Nest Secure, Nexus, Google max.
    How long would this last before they cancel it?

13. Apple should make something like this. This is very thoughtful and useful.

14. It comes in the box

15. Wait am I missing something? How is a $500 tablet cheap?

16. Mkbhd:What if we make a cheap tablet

    Google: low blows huh

17. "cheap"

18. To be fair most iPad apps are also just big phone apps so

19. I still miss my Nexus 7.

20. I wonder how are notifications handled with different profiles. Like if we are sharing a tablet with a partner, do you get notification from both profiles??

21. Is it bad that I'm way more excited to learn that Magnet Paper exists than the tablet?

22. Does this tablet support portrait orientation (which I believe is how most tablets are used)?

23. Until now I'm not convinced of using a tablet for anything

24. its a smart home display, that can also be a kind of a tablet. nothing more nothing less

25. $500(no 500 is not cheap for a lot of people), and the dock not working in it's own as a google Home mini is a deal breaker for me, as I use my current Nokia T20 tablet with a bluetooth keyboard, and mouse as my main portable, and I like having my nest hub in the kitchen, and game room for the family to use, and if I were replace my current tablet with this to justify the cost, I would not work to well for me personally.

26. 0 point in getting this over a refurbished Galaxy Tab S7

27. Just get the OnePlus Pad if you don't care about hybrid smarthome displays. It 1-ups this tablet in every way, including price, being €20 cheaper.

28. Now days your reviews are so complex , why ?????

29. The only thing I don't like about this is that it doesn't include a USB C charging port, which means this thing wouldn't be traveling with me if I'm going to be gone for more than a day.

30. looks like it should be about $190 for the tablet and about $70 for the little speaker

31. The idea is amazing, but battery issues and burn in the display can occur due to the always on docking system.

32. I think this tablet system could be useful in a household. Not withstanding the price of the docks, You could have several docks. One in the kitchen, maybe on your desk, on your workbench in the garage and I could bring the tablet to each of those locations and you could really customize it and have a different profile if you want with the apps that you would use in those locations. I also like being able to cast to it. I could be in the kitchen watching something while I am cooking etc. then move it to my desk and continue watching while I work. I hope Google starts putting more performance in their products. That could help create an audience and bring them into their ecosystem. Thanks for sharing.

33. I've been using a Pixel C since 2015 for email, and news feeds but the hardware is getting old and lacks enough memeory @ 4GB. My new Pixel arrives tomorrow. Thanks for the look ahead!

34. Just get an iPad with two homepod mini's

35. The doc of course isn't free, if they sold the tablet by itself the price obviously would be less, this is like xbox putting a camera in the box with the console, the tablet has meh specs

36. Meh!
