That's a shame - the Pixel C was the nicest out of the Google Nexus/Pixel tablets I've owned - luckily I skipped the Nexus 9, but the Pixel C was head and shoulders above the Nexus 10. The keyboard was the first I've seen for a tablet that wasn't just an afterthought (and that includes the Surface Pro 1). I think this really only leaves the Samsung S3 as a premium Android tablet out there, which is a shame. I had high hopes for a Nexus 7 replacement with Pixel branding - and I understand the whole "phablet" argument against a mid-size tablet - but it doesn't sound like that will be the case.

my Nexus 9 has worked well for years and of all of the Nexus products I have purchased (4,5,9,10,5x), it has been the most reliable over time. I don't see anything to replace it with.

  my nexus 9 has kind of shocked me as well. Originally i was unimpressed, but three years later the software has gotten to the point that it's totally stable and all the overheating issues seem to have been worked out. the build quality is still kind of shitty, but overall the tablet is working better than when it was new and i have no need to replace it (other than the ever-present want for shiny new things).

    Do you have it running stock Android? If so, what do you do since Google stopped providing updates? If not, which ROM are you using?

    My nexus 9 is the most disappointing piece of tech I've ever bought. It used to crash all the time when watching video which was the entire point of buying it, it crashes when it hits 40% battery, which is all the time because the battery only lasts a couple of hours.

I loved, loved loved my Nexus 7. The battery eventually died, and I waited for the mythical replacement model which never came. Then I gave up and got an iPad Mini. The iPad is fine, but a 7” Pixel would be awesome.
