The Google Pixel Tablet might not be exactly on par with some of the best Android tablets out there, but it isn’t trying to compete with the best in class. On the contrary, it’s more of a mid-range slate that still delivers pretty adequate performance with its Tensor G2 chipset.
As mentioned, this puppy comes with its Charging Speaker Dock. Just place it on the dock to transform the 10.95-inch slate into a smart Nest Hub display that can be used for all sorts of things, including a digital frame. As its name suggests, the speaker dock keeps your slate charged 24/7 and doubles up as a reasonably powerful speaker.
If you’re a fan of binge-watching (who isn’t?) your favorite TV series, you’d be pleased to know that the tablet comes with Google TV. The app lets you quickly find and immerse yourself in your favorite movies and TV shows.
You can expect this tablet to last a bit over 9 hours of YouTube video streaming when you take it off the charging dock, according to our own battery tests. In comparison, Google promises as much as 12 hours of video streaming between charges.
Although it’s probably not the best option if you plan on using it for heavy multitasking, the Google Pixel Tablet should be good enough for casual web browsing, video streaming, and light work-related tasks. With its charging dock, this bad boy also offers some cool functionalities you won’t find in most tablets. Plus, now that it’s available at $100 off (although not for the first time,) it might be even more attractive to some users.
