Youve sold me on whether or not i wanted a pixel tablet. As always, just a stellar product review that covers all the bases and specs i was curious about. Thanks Lon!

Had mine for over a week now and loving it. Best tablet I have ever had. Nice and light to hold with a non-slippery back. Great screen and sound for tablet media consumption. The only improvement I had to make myself was a mark in the corner where the on/off switch and volume control is.

I love my HP snapdragon chrome tablet. I paid $150 dollars on sale but, didn't have the pen. It works great.

Man I used to watch this guy years ago he helped me decide which 2 and 1 laptop I wanted back when detachables were popular. still the absolute best channel for learning about the latest gadgets and budget tech 💯

[ItsameBS]

I have it and it is quite good. Great tablet and nice replacement for the Nest Homes.

[therabbitslayerr]

Best channel on YouTube bar none. Thank you lon for all you do.

[sctajc]

I will have mine in a few days and am looking forward to it. For me it seems to have the balance right. Thanks for the review.

I had a Nest Hub Max but kinda wanted a tablet for watching videos when laying on the couch. Sold the Nest and got this and this does exactly what I wanted it to.

I had a Lenovo tablet but it didn't get used, because it sat on a table and was always dead when I needed it

[MonkeyPunchZPoker]

One reason I went with a Pixel 7 phone was the robust support behind alternative OS's, hopefully given me a few more years of useful life. I would consider getting this if its true for Pixel tablets.

[MartinPaoloni]

I kinda want one for my living room. With Home Assistant, this could be the ultimate remote control.
But at 500 dollars, it's difficult not to consider the cheapest iPad instead, even if it does not come with a speaker base and does not double as a Nest hub.

I'm just excited to see Google taking a serious interest in large screens and related apps

[TylerDurden]

nice thorough review
please include bluetooth headphone/speaker testing support in your reviews

It was also missing in chromecast with google TV review

[YouGotPropofol]

No reviewer has mentioned this…can you use it in tablet mode while it’s docked? Or do you have to take it off the dock to get into tablet mode?

[mjnz]

I bought one. I'm undecided on it, at maybe 55% keep and 45% return. I like the thought of it but it has issues. Some are software related so maybe fixed by an update. But disconnecting from the dock is very awkward to me, I have no idea how it got past consumer testing and nothing like how easy they show in ads without the dock being secured down somehow

[nataclar]

I am sorry but that price combined with that poor update path makes this a hard no. I am currently using a 5 1/2 year old iPad that is still getting updated. Google needs to learn how to keep interest in products.

Lots of extra info in your reviews as usual, thanks!
Please include a review of GrapheneOS for this or the next Pixel tablet if you can; I like the idea of at least one portable device without links to big tech.

[jimmycychowski]

Missed opportunity by Google, in my opinion, the speaker dock should have been used also as a speaker, for streaming from a smartphone, as a nest mini speaker can do, for example I have a Nest Hub Mini on my bedside table, it still works and has been a great device to be honest, what's disappointing is if for example, if my partner wanted to use the Pixel Tablet with her Pixel Buds, and I wanted to stream say Spotify to the included speaker dock that comes with the Pixel Tablet, your out of luck, seems like a terrible decision by Google not allowing the Cast option being possible, surely that's not much more of a cost production wise.

[mackmccord]

Great Review. Been missing my Nexus 7. Might have to add this to my devices!🕶️💜

[burnzy]

My Lenovo tablet;
- Costs half
- SD slot
- SIM slot
- GPS
- Built in stand/hanger
- Bigger battery (with 20w fast charging)
- Front facing dolby speakers
etc...

[jalogan]

Would love to see an Apple version where you can dock a iPad to a home pod!
