Google has no idea what it’s doing with the Pixel Tablet
- Google has reduced the price of the Pixel Tablet to $400 but has also removed the speaker dock which made the tablet unique and useful.
- However, without the dock, it is just a mediocre Android tablet that falls short of the competition due to lackluster processing power or a lack of necessary tablet-optimized apps.
- With no official keyboard or stylus, only a very expensive case, its versatility is limited and falls short in comparison to Apple's iPad or Amazon's Fire Max 11 tablet.
- Amazon's Fire Max 11 tablet is priced at $330, which includes a keyboard case and stylus, making it a more versatile and better value option.
- Google's plan for the Pixel tablet has been unclear from the start with no push to improve the tablet experience on Android and no other accessories available for it to make it an attractive proposition.
- Reducing the price of the Pixel tablet is an inadequate strategy and fails to make it a worthwhile purchase, even at the new lower price of $400.
- Google has failed to make the Pixel Tablet an appealing product and a $299 price tag may have resulted in a tentative recommendation.
- The Pixel Tablet, unbundled from its dock, is not worth the money.
- Google needs to invest in a range of accessories to make it an attractive, versatile, and worthwhile purchase decision.
- Until Google does so, consumers can do better by investing in other tablets that offer better value for money.
