Google tried to give its Pixel Tablet a second chance this week with a « relaunch » of sorts, but Apple killed that before it even happened.
Yesterday Google announced that the Pixel Tablet would be available for sale without a dock, effectively re-launching the tablet for an entirely new type of customer. It would have been a bit exciting, had Apple not set a new bar for tablets just hours prior.
Google re-launched the Pixel Tablet at a new starting price of $399. Nothing changed about the tablet itself, but Google now sells it without the speaker dock. That cuts down the price, and also makes the tablet a little bit more appealing as a tablet versus a smart home hub. It’s something that many have been asking for since the beginning, and it also came with better availability in other countries, as well as adjusted pricing in areas such as the UK, where Google’s tablet was disproportionally expensive.
