Google Pixel Tablet review: the dock makes all the difference
theverge.com

Just posting the Verge's review for now, but feel free to throw others in.

Gotta say, it is dumb as hell that the speaker can't be a speaker on its own. So if I'm listening to music, I can't pick up the tablet and move over to the couch without severing the audio connection. That is bananas. I'm sure it's a cost thing, given it'd need a chip of its own, but ffs.

Their cost benefit analysis seems short-sighted. Having a chip wouldn't be too expensive as even a Nest Mini has it. Just increase the price by $25 but provide that functionality imo.

I really want this tablet to be successful, I’m an Apple user personally and I feel like Apple has just gotten lazy with the iPad because there’s no serious competition. Would love to see Google become a serious tablet contender.

Got mine today and I like it. It's good. That's about it. Just good. Nothing all that impressive or exciting about it.
