> If you don’t have a Pixel Tablet handy, access the Pixel Tablet emulator in Android Studio Preview, and select the Android 15.0 (Google APIs Tablet) target. Once your device is set up, select Enable freeform windows option in Developer options to explore the capabilities of desktop windowing and how your app behaves within this new environment. I noticed this last year on Android 13, and I found it a bit unusable on an 8.4'' tablet and useless on a phone. But i think it has less features in Android 13/14, as the management (maximize/restore) looks a bit different on 15. It still looks like it doesn't have a minimize icon (also not when maximized), which for me is essential in a desktop environment.

Pixel Tablet is the biggest let down I have ever had from a product (SW + HW combination) mine has so many bugs, so many unnecessary changes from previous versions. I don't understand how a company can release such a bad product after so many iterations.

  > mine has so many bugs What bugs? I have mine for like 3 month and its probably the best expierence I had on any android device over the last dekade. Everything works so well and smooth. The only thing i critize is that the dock is not USB-C powered (so I could relocate it in the kitchen to watch stuff while cooking).

    Even today, The 'Hey Google' stopped working. Restart didn't help. The microphone works (I did a video call) but 'Hey Google' stopped working. I used to have the Lenovo Smart Screen 10, which was great. But it didn't support Netflix or Disney+ so I thought that the Pixel Tablet would be an upgrade. There so many things that don't work any more. For example after starting a timer, the Lenovo know the command "re-start" while The pixel for the same command starts a new timer. I have many more examples, but it just make me sad to think of it.
