#PIXEL SLATE M3 PRO#
To put this into further context, this model is also nearly £60 more expensive than the new MacBook Air and around £150 pricier than the equivalent Microsoft Surface Pro 6. That’s only £10 less expensive than the cheapest 12.9in Apple iPad Pro, although the Pixel Slate does at least come with double the storage. The Pixelbook Pen is another £99, bumping the cost to £1,257. Add the £189 Pixel Slate Keyboard and the price rises to £1,158 inc VAT. I was sent the £969 Pixel Slate for this review, which includes an eighth generation Intel Core i5-8200Y processor, 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage. The range of different specifications means the cost of the Pixel Slate varies considerably depending on the model you choose.
Image 3 of 11 Google Pixel Slate review: Price and competition It also comes in a series of different configurations with processors ranging from the relatively underpowered Intel Celeron 3965Y right up to an 8th gen Intel Core i7-8500Y. It has a 12.3in, 3,000 x 2,000 touchscreen display, which supports the use of a pressure-sensitive stylus – again, an optional extra – allowing you to sketch and take notes on-screen. Hardware-wise, the Pixel Slate is impressive. It comes in two parts: a tablet and a detachable keyboard case, which you have to purchase separately. Just like the 12.9-inch Apple iPad Pro, the Microsoft Surface Pro 6 and the 12in Samsung Galaxy Book, the Pixel Slate is designed to be used primarily as a 2-in-1 laptop.
#PIXEL SLATE M3 ANDROID#
The answer to that question depends on a number of different factors but the hardware on offer here is at least a match for the best the Windows 10, MacOS, iOS and Android crew can muster. So is it worth splashing out on the Pixel Slate? Or should you simply stick with a MacBook Pro or Huawei Matebook X Pro? Google Pixel Slate review: What you need to know Now that the specification and design of such devices is at least a match for the leading Windows and MacOS alternatives – as proved by the Pixelbook last year and the Pixel Slate today – it’s now a simple question of which platform you prefer. Today, however, with Chrome OS having developed into a surprisingly powerful operating system, products like the Pixel Slate deserve to be taken much more seriously.Įven if you’re a fairly demanding user, it’s perfectly possible to live and work 24/7 with a Chrome OS device.
Not too long ago, if you’d asked me to pay more than £1,000 for a Chrome OS laptop I’d have laughed in your face.
