https://store.google.com/us/product/pixel_tablet?hl=en-US for those not in the US I wish the post url was updated to this, right now it gets redirected to the local frontpage with no information about the tablet

I guess it depends on the country, for me in France it redirected on the French version of the store and you can buy the tablet for 700€.

Wow, it's $499 in the USA.

> 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…

What's great with charging docks? I charge with several chargers hanging from sockets all around the house. If I had only a charging dock I would have either to carry it were I need to charge my tablet while I'm using it or move myself to the dock.

As someone who generally likes the Pixel line of phones (not a fanboy; I just enjoy the stock+ android experience), I'm sceptical of the support on this tablet. My old Nexus tablet (I think it's the Nexus 7) is generally useless beyond basic offline usage because it doesn't get OS updates any more. Given the price, it's going to be a hard thing to justify at AUD$899 if it's going to be a security liability after 2028…

I had a previous generation Pixel C some years back and they absolutely don't provide software updates for nearly long enough, it became useless junk within a couple of years. contrast to iPads which work for 5+ years. i have a pixel phone but for tablets it's only Apple.

What made it useless junk for you? I still use my Pixel C daily.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

It's also like half the price of your Pixel 7 pro.

Considering Google has no other "flagship" tablet offering, the pricing or positioning is not stellar. This in-lines this brand new Pixel device with ho-hum disposable tablets.

Samsung builds high end tablets with Android if you need that. This is an option for people who want something different.

Gotta love stores that make it difficult for potential customers to see their products..

They still don't manage to sell their devices world-wide. Even in Europe. Clicking on the above link I see only their useless nest devices.

It's available in France: https://store.google.com/fr/product/pixel_tablet?hl=fr

679€, they have no shame, les bâtards ! And I thought the last Ipad was really expensive.

Before tax.

Typically, European prices include VAT. If you remove the VAT from the Dutch price, you'd end up with about €561.

Especially when taking into account the currency conversion, it's still definitely cheaper in the US, but the difference is less exaggerated when you take taxes into account.
