Google Pixel Slate

Sleek design ; Good keyboard and trackpad ; Solid battery life ; Google Assistant support is fantastic

App offering is lacking for power users and creatives ; Android apps can crash/not work on occasion ; Expensive for what it is

The Pixel Slate has promise, but Chrome OS needs work.

Gorgeous display ; Good battery life ; Excellent speakers ; Full desktop browser on a tablet is extremely useful

Performance as a tablet is subpar ; Android apps on Chrome OS are still a confusing (and sometimes buggy) mess ; Very expensive ; Pricey keyboard folio doesn’t work well on your lap

I love tablets and I love Chrome OS, and I was hoping to love the Pixel Slate. Despite the problems I've had, part of me still does. When I sit down and use it as a laptop, it's one of the best Chrome OS devices I've used. The screen is fantastic,...

A superb screen ; Good build quality ; Expandable and versatile

Performance issues on review ; Very expensive

Cutting-edge design. Thin and light. Excellent screen quality. Robust speakers. Long battery life.

No headphone jack. Expensive as configured. Keyboard and stylus not included. Stylus-attachment scheme and screen palm rejection need work.

Bottom Line: The first Chrome OS-based tablet from Google, the Pixel Slate is superior hardware, but in practice, it falls short of topping the Apple iPad, Chromebooks, or Windows tablets.

Excellent speakers ; Two USB-C ports ; Nice screen

Software bugs ; Android apps still feel alien ; Folio keyboard is awkward

Google’s first tablet running Chrome OS has ambitions to take on Apple’s iPad Pro, but it can’t get there. Unfortunately, it’s great hardware undone by a hundred tiny software indignities.

Brilliant display ; Premium design ; Plenty of power

Not optimised for keyboard ; Battery could be better ; Heavy

Bright, beautiful display with incredible resolution ; Gorgeous hardware that rivals Apple's iPad Pro

A little too heavy and big to use for very long as a tablet. ; Adding a obligatory Pixel Keyboard makes it a very expensive. ; Bugs and growing pains make it tough to use as a tablet.

There are a lot of things to like about the Pixel Slate. It has a gorgeous design, it comes in a range of prices and options, and it has a thoughtful two-way interface that plays to the strengths of each format. The companion Pixel Slate Keyboard fits...

Elegant design ; Sharp, vibrant screen ; Optional keyboard is both comfy and offers many angles ; Excellent handwriting recognition ; Great audio ; Nearly 10 hours of battery life

Buggy Bluetooth problems ; Keyboard adds heft ; Android apps on Chrome OS still a work in progress ; Expensive

The Google Pixel Slate is a great 2-in-1 with small issues that Google needs to fix.

Handsome, well-constructed hardware ; Keyboard is comfortable to type on ; Two USB-C ports are flexible ; Screen is beautiful

Android app are still awkward on Chrome OS ; No headphone jack or SD card reader ; Pixel Slate Keyboard underwhelms in your lap ; Expensive
