The Pixel Tablet is Google’s first new tablet in years and it gets a lot of things right for what most people need from a tablet. Plus it comes with a useful speaker dock that turns it into a smart display.

The Google Pixel Tablet delivers great value for a home tablet that doubles as a smart display, but it could have been so much more (and it could still be). It’s not the most premium slate for the price, and it’s smaller than you’d expect, but it delivers in some impactful ways, including great performance and great sound, on or off the speaker dock. The software still feels like a phone trying to be a tablet, especially when you run third party apps but hopefully the Pixel Tablet marks the start of a serious commitment by Google to improve Android on tablets, because this slate is ready for Android to catch up.

The Pixel Tablet is a desirable standalone Android tablet but its selling point revolves around the bundled docking station turning it into a smart display and that’s where things get a bit messy.

The Google Pixel Tablet is a good tablet to have around the house — especially with its speaker dock/charging station. But you’ll want to look elsewhere if you’re looking for a laptop replacement.

The Google Pixel Tablet is a perfectly serviceable slab with one standout feature that turns it into a communal hub device. There’s plenty to like here, but odd pricing and some strange decisions stop it from being truly great.

The Pixel Tablet may wow compared to the budget options from Amazon, but the only leg it has to stand on against Apple’s iPads and even some of Samsung’s older Galaxy Tab S models is the voice-recognition enabled by its Tensor G2 chip. Its special stand has some value, but not the $129 value Google ascribed to it. It’s fine that Google didn’t try to make a super tablet that does everything – Samsung has that covered. There’s room for an Android tablet that’s just good. But that room is at a lower price point than Google positioned the Pixel Tablet, where Samsung’s still-great tablets from prior years aren’t still swarming and offering all-around better packages.

Then when you want to use it as a tablet, just pop it off the dock and away you go.
