Google Pixel Tablet - Android Tablet with 11-Inch Screen and Extra-Long Battery Life - Porcelain - 8 GB RAM - 256 GB

Pricey, but IMHO, worth not being under A FT update control. I usually buy a A FT 10" HD, but in at least two incidents, I've had my FT fully loaded with my media, and vlc, only to arrive at a vacation spot, without wifi, and find amazon has removed vlc for some reason. I bought the Google Tablet, and the dock, to hopefully, get around this issue. My last vacation it worked perfectly. Tablet speakers are nice & provide spacial sound quality. Screen quality is exceptional, and under android control, has all the familiar setup & settings. Setup was easy, simply power it up for the first time, and follow the steps (avoid doing what I did, don't make any settings, or program installs UNTIL you complete the whole setup procedure, this includes ALL system updates needed (or you may have to do all your changes over again)). Provided cables are NOT for charging, only cable provided was for piggy-backing with another "oval" plug device (phone, etc...). If you have a newer FT, or a samsung phone, you may already have a oval plug charging cable, as I have a few myself. I was able to use these "extra" cables & outlet plug adapters until I got my dock (which does NOT use the same charging cable as the tablet). Speed is excellent, both in processing power, USB connectivity, and wi-fi. Uploading my media through the USB & another device (using Media Transfer Protocol) can be slow, but tolerable, and program installs, along with system updates through the wi-fi are pretty quick. Lastly, screen color quality is crisp and clean, watching movies & old episodes of favorite shows is a pleasure, which is mostly the reason for my wanting the tablet in the first place. One last detail, the FT usually comes with a SDHC chip reader, which allows you to use removable SDHC cards to supplement the memory, the Google Tablet appears NOT to have this, so if you plan on loading a lot of programs, or in my case, media, buy a Pixel with more memory. The tablet I bought had 8 GB system memory, with 256 GB internal memory. Long story short, I feel the price & value are well worth the quality, and wouldn't hesitate to buy another.

I absolutely love this tablet. As an avid Google user I am very happy. The functionality is fantastic, it looks and sounds amazing, the screen quality is great with vibrant colors, the battery lasts all day with heavy use, it doesn't weigh much at all and is very portable. For the money there isn't a better tablet on the market if you don't want to deal with Apple. Connects to WiFi quickly. Great value for a very useful tablet.

Super easy to use. Perfect compact size. The volume is loud and clear. Great for movies or deep diving into the internet.

I set it up. I added ONE game. It froze and restarted about every 2-3 minutes. So I uninstalled the game, cleared all the caches, made sure everything was updated. But it did it again. So I factory reset it. Then I didn't even make it through the setup because it kept freezing and restarting. I called support who tells me all they can do is replace it. I don't want another a Google Pixel tablet because this is ridiculous for the price! Over $500 and I get this waste of time? I'm REFUNDING

Lacks some of the features of the flagship Samsung's I used to have but I wanted something smaller. Works great with a pen you can also get on Amazon.

Amazing. Infact I sold all my apple devices to replace them with Google pixel. For starter it's design is minimalist and so pleasing to look at. It feels good in my hands. It's not too heavy. I love all the little things I can do like custom split screen to fit my needs. It stores so much plus I can pay for the Google cloud thing for more. In my opinion it's better than an iPad at Half the price. So worth it! It's easy to run and use. Small enough to put in my purse but large enough to still see it and use it fully. I need the dock ASAP.

Long battery life and handles my home system and gaming, used for many trips as well, very useful
