About this deal

Watching it convert text on the fly, faster than Windows does with its similar mode, was neat to see. And while the effortless security of Chrome OS might be worth the same amount of cash you'd spend on a Surface Pro 6 or a very good ultraportable laptop, these small bugs make for a device we can only recommend to those ready to handle a bumpy road. In particular, the settings and notifications menu, opened by tapping the bubble with the time in the bottom right corner, has been overhauled to a fantastic degree. it's served me well but once we all got locked down for quarantine and i'm working from home, the video chatting with friends has gone up 10000%.

Having lugged the Slate around London in my satchel, where it had more than a few accidental encounters with the sides of tables and a tube turnstile, I can also personally attest to the tablet’s build quality. Alastair is in charge of Trusted Reviews Limited’s editorial strategy and output across all its sites.The display is far from edge-to-edge, but in hand, the tablet’s metal chassis feels every bit as premium as the iPad Pro, and it has all the trimmings of a modern convertible. The processor is a powerful Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 chip, which makes the device very fast and responsive.

A Google representative told me "We've received reports about intermittent Bluetooth issues with select headsets and are working on a fix as soon as possible. The circular keys are an interesting differentiator, but one that isn't really necessary and will only present an extra learning curve. The Pixel Slate's bezels look a tad chunky, especially compared to those of the new iPad Pros, but the black bars aren't big enough to make it look dated. This remains the case with the Pixel Slate, which offers fantastic battery life when compared to the Surface Pro, but falls slightly behind the iPad Pro for stamina. And at the center of the Pixel Slate, you find the reliable Chrome browser, which I mention because it's a much more complete experience than the Mobile Safari that you get on the iPad Pro.

Not only does this slate pack one more than the new iPad Pros, these actually support external storage (the iPad Pro doesn't), so the Pixel Slate can actually fit into a modern working environment, rather than just rely on cloud storage. However, while the keyboard cover is stylish and feels pleasant to touch, we find that it doesn't fit snugly to the display when closed.

The Surface Pro 6 (9:20) fell half an hour short, while the iPad Pro (13:14) and Galaxy Book 2 (10:41) made it longer.

The Pixel Slate feels a little less portable when attached to Google's Pixel Slate keyboard, which nearly doubles its weight to 2.Whether you're looking for the latest news, helpful tips and advice, or simply a place to unwind and explore, we've got you covered. Even then, I saw stutter and clipping, and the game ran in a pixelated mode that didn't look that great.

The speaker setup is another key inclusion that differentiates the Pixel Slate from other Chrome OS and Windows tablets. The other major reason that will push some from Windows to Chrome OS is Google's no-nonsense approach to updates and security. I’m also a big fan of the optional folio keyboard, which is better than that of the iPad Pro’s in nearly every way. inch display with a resolution of 3000 x 2000 pixels, making it perfect for use as both a laptop replacement and tablet.The Pixel Slate also outlasted the Pixelbook (7:43), which was tested at a less-demanding 100 nits rate. The snap-on magnetic docking system lets you set the device at any angle, rather than limiting you to only a few as the iPad Pro does. One of the biggest reasons why I think the Pixel Slate is a solid laptop-replacement is its Type-C port, which supports all sorts of external devices. Rather, it slips and slides a bit in place, which makes holding it like a folio a little more awkward than it should be. I found a pair of odd, annoying issues when listening to music on the Pixel Slate with Bluetooth headphones and use it with a Bluetooth keyboard.
