Funny, I just replaced my perfectly acceptable, but canceled and unsupported Pixel Slate (2018) tablet with an iPad Pro. No regrets.

  Were you already in the Apple ecosystem?

  Right, I don't understand who buys into the Google/Pixel ecosystem now knowing it will be unsupported in a few years.

    I held on for a long time, and still have a lot of lock-in to unwind. Switching costs are pretty high, even for individuals. I won't be putting all my chips on Apple either. I have a mix of file storage options, password managers, Linux laptops, 'hub' devices, and so on.

  > ...unsupported Pixel Slate... What's unsupported about it? I picked this up on a fire sale and it still gets updates.

    Nothing. It's supported for at least another 3 years. ~2026

    I'm charging it up and we'll see. It was fairly quiet for a while. I have a specific use in mind, leveraging on-device speech recognition. Ideally I'll be able to achieve parity with the iPad.

  The Pixel Slate is supported until 2026: https://support.google.com/pixelslate/answer/9413910?hl=en https://support.google.com/pixelslate/answer/9413910?hl=en

    existing software support* Any hardware issues (mind you, the failure rate is pretty high, especially keyboards), and you're left with a broken device.
