Google Pixel Tablet review: A so-so slate is greater than the sum of its parts with the addition of a bundled smart home dock.

I don’t have any “smart” stuff in my home (other than phones). I suspect I’d feel differently about this thing if I did.

I was in the market for a tablet during the pandemic and was very frustrated with the options. I needed something we could use on an exercise bike and switch between users easily. We were looking at one of the Galaxy models that was $900 and I think we decided it just wasn’t worth it for a glorified tv that doesn’t do half the things we wanted. So this is $400 cheaper and does literally everything we want it to. I also don’t have smart devices, but I’m stoked just to have an android tablet that isn’t overly complicated.
