The specs feel... underwhelming? 12 hours battery life? My Pixel 7 Pro gets a claimed 2+ days. 8GB RAM? Even if it's mostly unused, my Pixel 7 Pro has 12GB.

The specs feel... underwhelming? 12 hours battery life? My Pixel 7 Pro gets a claimed 2+ days. 8GB RAM? Even if it's mostly unused, my Pixel 7 Pro has 12GB. The display has a nice resolution, but the bezel around it is huge. My Galaxy Tab S6 from 2019 has the same or better specs... and is thinner to boot. It kind of feels like this was a tablet that should have arrived a few years ago.

> 12 hours battery life? My Pixel 7 Pro gets a claimed 2+ days. That's 12 hours of screen on, displaying video. I assume that's not what you're doing on the phone when getting 2 days of batter life?

Bezels are actually pretty useful on tablets because of how they're held. But I agree in general the specs are just a tad underwhelming. The display is LCD as well, which is a bummer.

  LCD is probably a necessity to prevent burn-in since the screen will always/frequently be on in docked mode.

    Good point! Hadn't considered that.

  > Bezels are actually pretty useful on tablets because of how they're held I think the palm rejection are good enough that think bezels are no longer an issue

    Boy, I love covering my screen whilst I hold it. /s That would be terrible product design.

    It's more about holding it in my lap to watch or read something and my thumbs are covering part of the display at the edges. You don't need bezels on a phone because you can cradle it in one hand, but they're useful on a tablet because you've often got to grip/pinch it at the edges to hold it.

It's also like half the price of your Pixel 7 pro.

  Considering Google has no other "flagship" tablet offering, the pricing or positioning is not stellar. This in-lines this brand new Pixel device with ho-hum disposable tablets.

    Samsung builds high end tablets with Android if you need that. This is an option for people who want something different.

I get the impression its been design specifically for the kitchen.. which is exactly what I think I want it for
