The Google Pixel Tablet was a good foundation, but it needs to improve either with new accessories or a sequel in 2024.

    I would REALLY like to buy one of these. But I just can’t justify buying anything with a 60hz display in 2024.

    I would personally say that if you want to do work on a tablet, the pixel tablet isn’t good for you. But I own one, and I personally like it. Personally switched from an iPad mini 6th generation. Wish there was more drawing apps and better support them with USI.

    It’s not like one of Samsung’s higher end tablets, but it’s also not like one of their cheap budget ones either that barely run the software given to them. It’s pretty much like the pixel phone and falls into the category of “good enough/acceptable”. Yeah there’s definitely better hardware out there, but it’s the software that is what makes it a decent tablet. A higher end model with stuff like a better refresh rate would be nice, but it’s not a requirement for me personally.

    It’s a bit gimmicky, but I do like the hub mode of the tablet that’s engaged through the dock. It’s nice that the tablet can do something at all times even when it’s just changing.

    My only real complaints about the tablet are the poor keyboard and mouse support (though that’s more of a problem on app developers), the fact the dock doesn’t do much. And I’ve also noticed quite a few problems using other launchers with it (probably because the taskbar is very heavily tied to the pixel launcher).
