Didn’t see a specific thread for this so figured I’d set one up.

So what do we reckon then? Reckon it’s got a shot?

I know the Pixel C and Slate didn’t fare too well so can totally understand people being apprehensive about it but I think if it’s priced competitively it could be ok.

I’m certainly intrigued enough that it could be my next tablet purchase and thats with me currently using a 2018 iPad Pro 11”.

While I had the Nexus 10 and used it a lot, especially for university, I have the S5e now but don't really use it that often. Still, I'll keep an eye on this seeing it may also work as a home Nest device based on earlier leaks, been wanting to replace my smaller Google home with something bigger.

Yeah if it ends up doubling as a detachable Nest Hub Max then that could see some additional interest.

I totally get everyone being down on it though - the way Google have treated their tablet line over the years (Nexus 7 aside - what a tablet) I'm not surprised that people wouldn't get one.
 
The play for Google here is to include the dock as part of the package. But I fear that the dock will be an additional purchase which would make it a tougher sell for people.

Price? Has to be on par with the regular 10.2” iPad imo so around the £300 mark.

I have a Nest Hub Max, this tablet is basically that but detachable. I can completely see the appeal of it in that sense

Totally. I've wanted Apple to provide a Hub-esque experience for the iPad for years now. I know Amazon has provided such an experience with their tablets turning them into Echo Shows but it's great that Google has also seen that gap and giving it to people as well. Jury is obviously out on whether they'll stick with it however.

The price will include the dock with a price of $129 being touted if you buy the dock seperately. So maybe if you buy the tablet separately and it comes in at a comparable price to a base level iPad then it might be ok.

I guess why people always give the iPad comparison is that you get a polished tablet with tremendous app support at a very reasonable price (until you go for an Air/Pro) whereas the Android side of things always seems to lack that polish.

I think if most people was to recommend a tablet to buy the iPad would be the one most would go for.

But I definitely think Google are on the right track with this-I can only speak for myself in that I’ve always wanted my iPad to double up as some of hub as opposed to it just sitting on a stand doing nothing. This definitely solves that.
 
£599 is obviously far too high given the competition. £100 less and I think people would be more tempted, especially when you factor in the cost of the dock ($129).

But in regards to the 60hz screen, I don't have an issue with it tbh given what its purpose is - a midrange tablet which doubles up as a nest hub.
