So it’s official, the laptop replacement tablet has become a proper part of the consumer electronics market. It started with Microsoft and the Surface and all those successive generations and iterations and Apple finally got in on the action with the iPad Pro and I think Samsung made some attempts in the meantime.
I mean, what haven’t Samsung attempted recently, besides, you know, a space shuttle or a submarine. Never mind that, Dell, HP, the whole gang has been in on it except for Google. It was just about time for Google to join the party. It’s called the Pixel C as Google looks to cash in. But what does Google do differently? Well, let’s find out!
Looks
While Google hasn’t ever been a slouch in the build department, they haven’t made too many of their own devices. The Nexus smartphones have always been outsourced, the Chromebooks have as well. The Pixel C, however, has been made in house and they’ve done a great job. It is certainly the best quality Android tablet made yet, with its metal casing and solid weight. The obvious comparisons to the iPad will be made do to the metal case and the lack of premium Android tablets.
