The charging dock is cool, but feels like a missed opportunity to have it be a regular Google Home speaker when the tablet is undocked.
> undocked You mean docked? And is it not? I thought it basically acts like a Nest Hub Max [0] when docked? [0] https://store.google.com/ca/product/google_nest_hub_max
Android tablets generally feel overpriced right now for what they offer compared to Apple's ecosystem. There's one exception: Lenovo's last gen pro tablet got a small refresh. It's the "Lenovo P11 Pro Gen 2" and it's absurdly affordable compared to the competition right now (~$270). It's got a 120hz OLED display, great general-purpose performance (my previous tablet experience was Samsung's budget S6 Lite, which was…
> for what they offer compared to Apple's ecosystem Yet after over a decade, iPads still don't support multiple profiles for a device that's very often used in a household by multiple people. Something that this very first generation Pixel Tablet does.
So, we should expect no ownership of hardware issues [1][2][3][4] and a discontinuation shortly [5] ?
Even the actual product page is broken already. See footnote 7 on tech specs page [6]:
> [...] See g.co/pixeltablet/updates for more information.
That link ... is broken... no such article exists...
Come to think of it, this IS the update policy, probably. Expectations are being set early on.

This tablet has a lower pixel density than my desktop. But 120Hz OLED sounds soooo good. I'm almost super sad it's not 4K. Would've been an instant wishlist item then.
Notebookcheck.net also notes it averages 633 nits brightness, which is superb. That's why I ordered one, to be a better outdoor-capable remote terminal than my oled-but-meh-brighness Samsung Book 12. Hopefully I can run a real Linux at least via KVM on the Lenovo someday!!
> The included charging dock is also a speaker. I've gotta say, charging docks are a killer feature for me and I don't understand why Apple doesn't do the same. There used to be the Logitech Base [1] that I still use with the previous-gen (9th) iPad, but the smart connector in the newest iPad (10th gen) is no longer compatible with it, as the angle of the edge changed. It's been years since I plugged in my phone or A…
Wireless charging kills batteries faster -- that's why I personally avoid it.

The sole reason why I chose samsung tab over iPad is that iPad is essentially useless as a shared family device - the UX of switching accounts inside apps is just terrible.
Tablet should definitely be a multiuser device and it's kinda stupid that Apple actually has multiple accounts functionality, but it only works for school or enterprise.

> it's absurdly affordable compared to the competition right now (~$270). Ipads are even cheaper at around $210 I think? I don't think it's possible to get an Android tablet of that screen size for anywhere close. It's sort of weird how Apple overprices all of their stuff except tablets. Then again, then you have to deal with the ATS nonsense which is hell for local web dev without https.

Well, there was the Pixel C in 2015. It was Android based and went nowhere. Then there was the Pixel Slate in 2018. It was Chrome OS based, and also went nowhere. If you bought a Pixel Slate, a new Google tablet has been five years in the making. Except that the Pixel Tablet isn't really a replacement. It's back to Android, and this time, no keyboard or pen options in sight.
Google has no long-term strategy for tablets. Best I can tell, every few years some product owners get together to once again do Google's Big Push For Tablets For Real This Time We Swear and the initiative goes until they get their promotions and then it's forgotten until the next round a few years later. If you buy this tablet and like it, don't expect a successor. They'll release something completely unrelated in a…
You are 100% correct.
