    My last tablet was the iPad 2 back in 2011. Its fate was exactly as Google said: stuffed in a drawer, forgotten for years. Love what they did with this. It's the first tablet I actually use!

    My galaxy fold 3 literally replaced my need to use my tablet. The unfolded screen is big enough for me to watch movies, play games, etc., so I never need to carry a second device. The Galaxy folds are so underrated!

    That 80$ for just a case was a deal breaker for me. I skipped buying the whole tablet

    Really great idea the dock. Hope they finally implement the desktop mode in Android 14. This setup with keyboard, mouse and a stylus would be perfect.

    The docks are really dumb for $120. I think they should be somewhere around $50 each. For $120 I expected a Nest Mini competitor which doubles as a dock.

      these Google devices are not repairable. they are actually disposable. and AUE is another scary thing about these.

    I believe the just-released Google Home script editor allows you to create automations that play on a specific device... but that's obviously only for power users, so definitely not ideal

    • @CherlynnLow
      @CherlynnLow Před 11 měsíci +2

      i'm actually very tempted to use it! but I did ask Google about setting what device plays in response to a command and they did not point me to the script editor, only confirming that it wasn't available yet. But I'll go check to see if it's doable!

    I need this for my elderly parents. They need a dumb machine. But it needs a 14.5 inch screen and keyboard and mouse. A large tablet is what most seniors need. Small screens is bad for eyesight and bad posture.

    Pixel Tablet or Lenovo p12 Pro.
    I have a painful dilemma. I don't know what to choose because, at the same price, I have awesome hardware lacking in software (Lenovo) and mid/low hardware but with decent software (Pixel tablet). They are the same price, I love the Pixel phone, watch, and earbuds but when I see that the Pixel tablet is the same price as Lenovo, my pocket hurts ;_;

    Why do you keep implying for years and years that Android tablets are all but dead? Samsung has been making incredibly good tablets for many many years. They have Wacom quality styli included, great screens, fantastic sound, excellent multitasking, Dex, superb build quality, . . . It may be true that the other brands are struggling when it comes to tablets. But if you want an iPad you only have one brand to choose from right? So why is that a problem with Android? If you're into the Google \ Android ecosystems like we are then Samsung tablets work incredibly well.
