For those in the market of an Android tablet, the Pixel C is one of the better options. Yes, it is priced quite high, but you are getting one of the more premium tablet experiences available to Android users, especially if you opt to grab a Pixel C Keyboard, too.
To help combat that high price, Google is hosting a limited-time sale on the Pixel C and its detachable keyboard. Right now, you can grab the Pixel C in 64GB for just $499, which is $100 off. The keyboard is also on sale at $99, down by $50. This brings your total to $598.
With the Pixel C, you can rest assured that timely updates will be available straight from Google, but it will already come running Android 7.0+. That means you will find access to Multi-Window and other enhanced features.

Missed my chance to get it for 25 percent off earlier this year…darn it.
First of all, this question is not meant to troll. What are the comparisons of this to the iPad Pro? I’ve been using an iPad Pro since this summer, sold a Nexus 9 to get it. I just found the Nexus 9 to be slooooooow, and it would constantly lag and give me issues. The Pro is vastly superior to that.
But I really prefer Android to iOS, so I’d love to make the switch back, but only if the thing is rock solid. I’ve got Mighty Text for cross device texting, Microsoft has a full suite of Office apps, I COULD make the switch if I trusted it.
Anyone else have both? Can you comment?
Im in the same exact boat. I mean exactly. The wifi issues im reading about with the Pixel are depressing though.
With the Asus Zenpad 3S10 Z500M now available with Type-C, QC 3.0, 4GB RAM and 64GB storage + microSD slot, a Pixel C makes for an awfully hard sell at the asking price. Sure, Asus has plenty of bloat packed in and it’ll quote possibly never be updated past 6.0.1, but it’s still a fantastic piece of hardware for the $.
Agreed. I’m debating between the Asus and the PixelC myself. At the moment, Asus still has the margin with that price and [mostly] impressive feature set.
Pixel 10 anytime soon?
that is the Pixel 10 😉
Guess I’ll have to wait for it to drop another hundred then 🙂
I want a Pixel 7 (or 8) because that is the best size to me in tablets. I’ve had a few 10 inch tablets and they just aren’t as useful to me. My Nexus 7 2013 and ipad Mini 2 are both getting a little long in the tooth. I’d love a PIxel tablet to go with my Pixel phone. Maybe in the $300 range.
I enjoy my Pixel C, solid device and fast. With some new Chromebooks having the ability to run Android apps, I couldn’t see getting a new tablet at this point. I constantly swap between my Chromebook and Pixel C. I hope Samsung will release that Chromebook Pro, I can see that replacing both my current Chromebook and Android tablet.
Still holding out for the Chromebook Pro. A tablet/convertible with all of the exact features that the SCBP has is on my wife’s Christmas list, buuuuut they still haven’t announced a release date yet. I would really prefer not to have to do an IOU, but I also don’t wanna drop a few hundred on something and have the ideal product come out a week later.
Just saw this comment. Any chance you have any first-hand comparisons between the iPad Pro 9.7 and the C? Would love to hear some eye witness accounts.
I have not had any experience with the iPad Pro.
Anyone think we’ll see another Nexus 7 style tab? Maybe, Pixel 7??? Though, if they do a Pixel version the price may keep me away, I just can’t see spending that much on an Android tablet.
Doesn’t look like it. I was hoping for a new Shield Tablet too, but think we would have heard something by now if that was happening. My son’s 2013 N7 has already had most of its components replaced, but has its quirks now from using aftermarket parts and he’d like to replace it. The only thing remotely similar that I’ve seen is the Huawei Mediapad M3, but its price tag, Micro-USB port, lack of 5 GHz WiFi (hardware is there, but disabled because they couldn’t get it FCC certified apparently), and unknown software support are big turn-offs to me. Otherwise it seems like a nice tab. I have the Shield Tablet that I guess I’ll just hand down to him since I only occasionally use it now.
Maybe the Switch will be a decent alternative when it comes out, but no Hangouts support would be a deal-breaker too since that’s how we talk to him when we’re away from him. It seems now that Android tabs are being phased out by Chromebooks.
Was seriously considering the MediaPad 3 when my wife and I were looking for a cheaper tablet option with expandable storage. The screen and sound experience for that price is hard to ignore. But their support and long-term viability were huge question marks.
Amazing
