Another beautiful bit of kit you don't need at this price

from The Inquirer

It's too expensive. End of. If you're not fussed about Windows, the top-end Huawei MediaPad is £350. Justifying at least double that for Chrome OS device just seems bonkers. Yes, the screen is lovely. Yes, the sound is above average. But when push comes to shove, it's a tablet. Google does it well. Others do it much, much better.

A bold proposition

from Pocket-lint

Overall, the Google Pixel Slate looks premium, feels great to use, and with the keyboard dock added it functions very well. If, that is, you're ok with using a Chrome OS device all day - because the Slate is ultimately a fancy 2-in-1 Chromebook - and the considerable asking price. Both of which are big, chin-scratching questions.

Has all the puzzle’s pieces, but they don’t quite fit

from Digital Trends

Google has all the right pieces of the puzzle; Google Play, attractive hardware, and a wide variety of devices. Still, from what we’ve experienced so far, the Pixel Slate hasn’t figured out how those pieces should fit together.
