The Google Pixel Slate is a new Android tablet that’s as powerful as its name suggests. It’s Google’s answer to the iPad. But can it take on Apple’s iPad? Here are our top 10 reasons why it can’t.
Introduction
1) “Google Pixel Slate is a budget laptop. Its main competitor is the Microsoft Surface Laptop 3. It runs Android, and Chrome OS, and comes with Google Assistant built-in. The screen is a decent size and the keyboard is responsive. It’s not the best-looking computer but it gets the job done and is light enough to carry around.”
2) “The screen is a good size and bright. But the colors are slightly off and aren’t as vibrant as other laptops on the market. It also doesn’t have as much storage or processing power as competing products. It’s a budget laptop, though.”
1. Design, Build, & Set up
The Google Pixel Slate is the Google Chrome OS device that offers a wide range of versatility. It’s a hybrid tablet and laptop that can do everything you expect from a laptop or tablet. With a touch screen, you can use the Slate like a tablet or you can use it like a laptop with a keyboard cover that can snap onto the bottom of the slate. It has all the features you would expect from a laptop, including high-quality speakers, a backlit keyboard, and plenty of ports and slots.
2. System Requirements
Google Pixel Slate offers a full-featured Windows PC experience on a tablet, with the same long-term commitment that Google and its partners have made to Android. Starting with Chrome OS 71, you can run your favorite Android apps on Google Pixel Slate. There are lots of reasons why you’ll want to make Google Pixel Slate your next laptop, tablet, or mobile computer: for students looking for a productive, intuitive, secure platform for learning, for creatives wanting a versatile device that is easy to access and share, and for families who want an affordable way to use a full PC experience on the go.
3. Display Performance
After some early teardowns and some software updates, we now have official performance specifications for the Google Pixel Slate. It appears the device runs a Core i5 processor, 8GB RAM, and 256GB of storage. Storage and RAM seem quite small, but it is a 10.5″ screen with a 2736×1824 resolution. It is unclear if the device will ship with Android 8.0 or 8.1 Oreo and whether it will feature a microSD slot. We also don’t know if the device will have LTE connectivity. We’re looking forward to seeing a review of the device to help us learn more about its hardware and software performance.
4. Input Performance
One of the big promises of the Pixel Slate is its speedy performance. In our review, we found that it doesn’t quite deliver on that promise. Its keyboard is decent, but still not as good as its bigger sibling, the Pixelbook. The Slate feels a bit lighter than the Pixelbook, but not by much. That said, it gets the job done and it has good battery life. It’s a fine device if you like a smaller tablet with a solid keyboard. But don’t expect it to be your go-to laptop replacement.
5. App Performance
Apps are always evolving and improving. Sometimes, changes take years to become a reality. With that in mind, let’s talk about how the new Pixel Slate improves upon the previous Pixelbook. To start, the display looks better. The Slate uses a 10.5-inch display, and the previous model had a 10.3-inch display. The difference between the two is noticeable. Also, the new Pixel Slate uses an updated PenTile display, which has fewer colored subpixels than traditional RGB LCD displays. The result is a sharper image with more true-to-life colors.
6. The Best Games
Here you will discover the best games for Pixel Slate. Google Pixel Slate is a versatile tablet computer that runs the latest version of Google’s Android operating system. The screen measures 8 inches and comes in two sizes – 7.9 inches and 10.5 inches – depending on the model. The tablet is a perfect size for playing casual games and watching videos but lacks any ports for headphones or speakers.
7. Gaming Features
When it comes to video games, Google wants to make sure it is up-to-date with trends. That’s why it added a dedicated Pixel Slate gaming tablet to its slate lineup of Chromebooks. The slate is powered by a Snapdragon 850 processor, has a 10.5-inch display, and runs Chrome OS. The company says it has “built a gaming tablet that can replace your game console and your high-end PC.”
8. How to Setup a New Tablet
Google made some changes to its tablet lineup with the new Pixel Slate. At $599 (or $499 with the new Pixelbook Pen), this hybrid laptop/tablet comes equipped with a 10.3-inch display, a full keyboard, and a stylus. The Slate can also connect to a TV through Google Duo via Chromecast, and a docking station can turn it into a desktop PC with support for Windows 10. But perhaps the biggest reason to buy is the Google Play Store. With Android tablets, you have to rely on third-party apps, but Google’s own software is available right out of the box.
9. Should You Buy It?
Conclusion, In conclusion, we believe that this is a really exciting device. It has a lot of great features and the price is competitive. This is definitely an excellent choice for someone who needs a good tablet for work, school, or travel. It’s a very nice upgrade for Android users, especially those who own the Google Pixel. We do hope that this will be a hit and that it becomes the device that brings the Pixel brand to life, again.
