    “Compete with iPad” term is being used loosely here. It’s like I play tennis and I compete with Nadal. Lack of software, platform fragmentation, come to mind to name a few. I’m glad they are there hough, otherwise Apple will be sued for monopoly. That’s the good I can think about Android platform as a whole.

      Why are you talking about platform fragmentation on a PIXEL device. The iPhones of android… Not to mention “lack of software” what do you mean by that? You’re REALLY reaching for reasons to hate on the opposing platform it seems.

      Also, a few is generally 3 or more. You named two vague gripes you had without even actually calling them gripes/cons or whatever. If it’s not for you that’s fine but just say that and don’t pretend to be well-versed in consumer electronics.

    Finally…been wait for one like forever. Cannot deal with Sammy’s bloatware. I don’t need/want duplicate of Google apps that I will NEVER USE. Wake up Sammy!

      That’s the main reason I don’t get Samsung Phones. The extra bloat ware is awful

    Face it, this is nothing more than a $500 Nest Hub display as it’s embarrassing to even call this a tablet, especially after using an iPad. ????????

    Amazon needs to copy this format for an Echo show.

    Come in google why are you giving apple some ideas to raise the price from 999 to 1 billion 99 ????

    Not enough to pull me away from iPad. Google Play doesn’t even have a fraction of the amount of tablet fully optimized apps as iPad. And it’s 2023. Google should have done this over 10 years ago.

      tablet marklet is very low

    What did you use for a stand? When it’s not docked how will you make it stand?

    • severgun

      May 10, 2023 at 6:40 pm

      case with stand

  9. severgun

    May 10, 2023 at 6:35 pm

    stand that require second hand to keep it on desk to separate? WTF?

    Perfect for me

    It’s an extremely clever idea honestly, good on Google for doing something different and making a tablet with multiple functions

    Meh. How’s the sound on the dock? Better than their other current offerings?

    Without a stylus, its pretty much useless

    Getting it for sure awesome job by Google.

    May 10, 2023 at 8:54 pm

    My question is a make or break buy for me. Does it have nest home monitoring on it when it’s docked like how the hub max has it? I haven’t seen any reports on it yet

  23. Chongchi Zhang

    May 10, 2023 at 8:55 pm

    What’s the screen refresh rate?

  24. Edis Delgado

    May 10, 2023 at 9:17 pm

    I will describe it as a tablet that’s also a Home hub not the other way around

    The G2 chip is exactly what’s on the pixel phones not similar….

The relationship between farmers and the sun just got an upgrade #TEDTalks

Design consultant Virginia Santy set out to create an office space built specifically for women, flipping the script on the subtle (and not-so-subtle) ways that workplaces and cities still fail them. The results were striking: greater productivity, deeper collaboration and an environment where women felt genuinely valued, leading her to ask a simple question: What would the world look like if we designed with women in mind?
