Google's very own convertible tablet, Pixel C, is confirmed to be released in the UK this December. The new device is slated to run in Android rather than Chrome OS, the tech giant has announced.
Tech Advisor said on its article that the Pixel C tablet will come in two versions, 32GB and 64GB, priced at $499 and $599 respectively. Its detachable keyboard costs $149. The keyboard is held on by strong magnets, and adjustable between 100- and 135 degrees. It has a very decent 18.8mm pitch, making for a great touch-typing experience. This has been achieved by taking five less frequently used buttons from the keyboard and placing them on the screen.
In addition, this detachable keyboard connects to the tablet over Bluetooth, and charges inductively when closed. This accessory needs a couple of minutes charge a day, but even when the users don't, the battery can last up to two months, as stated by the company.
According to CNET the Pixel C Tablet will be sporting Nvidia X1 quad-core processor, Maxwell GPU and 3GB of RAM. The screen boasts a 2,560x1,800-pixel resolution display with 308 pixels per inch and it allegedly features a wide range of colors and sports a super-bright backlight. The display is also sensitive to touch, sharp and comfortable to view.
The Pixel C is the first Google tablet to offer a USB Type-C port, the same charging port on the new Nexus 5X and Nexus 6P phones and the company's most recent Chromebook Pixel.
Digital Trends added that this handset will run the latest version of Android, 6.0 Marshmallow. Furthermore, it cites the positive side and negative side of the newest tablet made by Google. For its positive side, Pixel C has a beautiful design and it runs the latest Android.
On the other hand, its negative sides are: it's Android unproven for laptop computing, the screen is small, it has an expensive asking price and lastly the keyboard adds heft.
Though Google Pixel C sounds like a fun device, many are still having second doubts of adapting Android in a laptop environment. Do you think Google's newest innovation will be as successful as its previous products?
