Google’s Pixel Tablet is a unique product and a good reminder that not every tablet needs to double as a full-on computer.

Sure not everyone needs to run a full suite for photo and image manipulation, or animation, or 3d modelling or coding.

I simply fail to see the reason why someone would make the distinction. A producing grade device can offer all the media consumption you need. Especially on tablets where the software is what enables the device, not the device itself. You can probably just go ahead and pair a bluetooth keyboard and bluetooth mouse or even dongle it with wired devices and turn it into a great productivity device.

It is more to set expectations with price.

Mhm possibly. But we are still talking about 500 dollarinos though :)

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Even still. $500 devices generally arent made for pro grade consumers. They have to allocate their budget better than focusing on a crazy big and high resolution display or oled or something

If you trust the dock price, the tablet is only $380.
