Nice family tablet!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Pixel tablet is a pretty good looking device. The white and ceramic finish are pleasing to the eyes. The volume and power buttons are in a good place and I don’t find myself hitting them by accident.
Setting up the tablet was easy with the guided process. It does take a while to go through all the prompts and create the necessary accounts though. You should plan to take an hour to set it up, tailor settings to your liking, and update the operating system and existing apps.
The Android experience is a bit different than what I’m used to since most of my products are Samsung and thus use One UI. I assume this tablet gives a “pure” Android experience since it’s from Google themselves. It relies a bit more on swipes and gestures but the whole family is adapting to it easily.
The LCD display is 2560x1600 resolution with 276 PPI which is good enough I’d say. It doesn’t look grainy even when it’s uncomfortably close to my face. The claimed 500 nits brightness seems bright enough for brightly lit rooms and all but direct sunlight outdoors.
By default, the tablet seemed to have an odd color profile which made whites seem brown and other colors seemed off. I figured out that the colors were set to “Adaptive”. Selecting “Vivid” or “Natural” gave the colors a more familiar hue. I selected “Natural” for myself.
The performance of the tablet seems on par with modern phones but with a nice big screen. The racing, RTS, FPS, and other games we tried all played well on high settings with no lag or stutters. It was also easy to run multiple windows at once for multitasking purposes. Although we didn’t use this feature on a regular basis, we were able to pair Bluetooth controllers and mice to the tablet which could enhance productivity or help with certain games. The tablet came with 128GB which seems to be enough for my family but I know a 256GB model is also available for those that need more.
The magnetic dock has been convenient for standing up the tablet for my daughter so she doesn’t need to hold it and we don’t have to buy a separate case just for that purpose either. We find ourselves unplugging the dock so we can take it with the tablet around the house as a stand. When we need to charge up then we plug the tablet and dock back into the dock’s power supply.
The speakers on the dock can go louder than the tablet which can be nice for entertaining guests but I find that the quality of the sound isn’t really better than the tablet itself. The tablet’s built-in speakers are quite good.
The cameras on the tablet are sufficient to hold calls with family members and take pictures and videos in less challenging environments. I switch to my phone if I need higher optical and/or digital zoom, better stabilization, or better low light imagery.
Overall I think the Pixel Tablet with dock is at a fair price point and will provide years of entertainment.

Intriguing premise with the potential for more

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Pixel tablet is a really interesting idea that fuses together the functions of a casual entertainment tablet with a home smart hub. Having a tablet that continues to be useful even when you're not actively using it, or a home smart hub that can provide expanded functionality on an as-needed basis is a brilliant idea, and Google's first crack at this concept definitely shows the promise of this concept, although it sadly still feels like it needs a bit of refinement. When undocked and in "tablet mode", this device is absolutely fantastic - easily one of the best tablets I've ever used and well worth the price just on those merits alone. When docked and in "hub mode", it feels a bit underwhelming and serves mostly to conjure up a laundry list of ways in which the hub mode could be made to really shine (none of which it really does well, or at all, at this point in time). That being said, it really gives the feeling that with a few judicious software updates, it could start to grow into the promise of a dual-purpose tablet / smart hub quite quickly. I really hope that there will be a future Pixel Tablet 2.0 because I have a feeling it's gonna be a complete game-changer, but for right now the current version of the Pixel Tablet is mostly a really fantastic tablet with dreams of one day being a full-fledged smart hub for your house.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So far, we are super impressed with this Google Pixel Tablet with charging station. The magnetic connection to the charging station is awesome and keeps it very secure. We keep this in our kitchen and use it for SO much. We can view our outside/doorbell cameras from it, we can pull up recipes when we cook, keep our grocery shopping list organized (and sync with our phones), play music, we play a constant slideshow of family photos when it's not in use, keep our family calendar updated so everyone can view it and we use " Hey Google" on a daily basis to check the weather or just look up random things. The size is perfect for traveling and so far, I've found nothing that this tablet can't do!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This tablet and docking station have revolutionized my tablet use experience. No more forgetting to plug the tablet in to charge or worrying about where the charger is. The docking station charges the tablet! The speaker on the docking station allows me to use my Google Assistant with ease. The tablet is easily removed, providing a seamless experience. The large tablet display and fantastic resolution are perfect for games and videos! This combo of tablet and docking station has definitely provided an incredible user friendly experience. Love this set and highly recommend it!

Good but not quite great

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So essentially this is a large format smartphone that docks like a hub.
The camera quality is OK, and the sound from the tablet itself is also just OK. When docked, the sound immediately begins coming out of the dock (alone) and you get more sound. The highs are a bit loss, but overall the sound quality isn't bad.
The dock is magnetic and does a great job at holding the tablet, but aligning is sometimes a bit tricky.

The tablet itself has the usual features, Wifi, Bluetooth, Location, fingerprint reader, among a few other things. When docked it can randomly scroll through news, time, weather, and photos among other things.
The tablet pushes split screen app use which does make for easier use. You can use apps in full screens, but because some apps aren't optimized, you often get a lot of black/unused space.
One thing I love is how easy it is to swap from one user profile to another. It was surprisingly quick and easy and never stumbled at all.
The tablet has a nice battery life, but I noticed in leaving the tablet sitting untouched overnight, resulted in a 10% battery loss.
As a dock it's OK, as a tablet, it's still just OK. I personally sat mine on my desk next to my computer. This allows me to control smart home devices when sitting here or pick it up and read the news or ebook.
To be clear, the tablet isn't bad, it just leaves a few things to be desired or rather bettered.

2-in-1 functionality!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recently started using the Google Pixel Tablet with charging speaker dock and found it to be a powerful, fast, and versatile device. The 11-inch screen is a great size for most tasks and produces crisp and colorful images. I was impressed with the computing power and overall performance, as pages load quickly and more demanding tasks like multitasking and gaming are not a problem. The charging speaker dock is a great addition and transforms the Pixel into an impressive smart display. In hub mode, the Pixel provides me instant access to all my smart home controls and is very functional. And the charging speaker dock not only keeps my Pixel charged and ready to go the sound quality is good.
