What is Google Pixel C?

First and foremost Google Pixel C is not a nexus tablet just because it runs Android 6.0 (Marshmallow). It is a new product from Google in it's Pixel family.It is a successor to Chromebook Pixel and looks like it. It is 10 inch tablet, looks beautiful and has some premium specs.

Google went on with Nvidia again for the tablet's processor. The Pixel C has an Nvidia X1 quad core processor with Maxwell GPU. It comes with 3GB of RAM. The screen(an IPS panel) has a good resolution of 2560 x 1800 pixels with 308ppi (pixels per inch), at least it better than 1080p. The screen has a 500 nits brightness and sRGB color gamut.

The thing that is catchy about the Pixel C is the keyboard accessory. With that it seems to me as a good competitor to Microsoft Surface Pro 3 which is the best in the market at the moment in performance as a tablet with keyboard. The Pixel C has a keyboard just like the Chromebook Pixel's but smaller in size. It has a powerful magnet attached to it so that it connects with the tablet nicely. The tablet even does not get removed from the keyboard when holding upside down. Another thing I liked about the keyboard is that it connects with Bluetooth and gets charged from the tablet when the tablet is closed. There is no need for charging the keyboard separately. The keyboard does not have some keys; Google removed the less used keys and relocated them onto the onscreen display. Because of the powerful magnets the Pixel C feels like a solid laptop.

The tablet also comes with the new USB Type - C as in Nexus 5X and 6P. You can also exchange their chargers for charging. The Pixel C also has some bigger stereo speakers on the front for a good sound. It also has 4 microphones for interactions across the room. It also has feature that if you double tap on the light bar it will tell you the battery.

The Pixel C is little less expensive than some other options like it. It is priced at $499 (Rs. 32,550) for the 32GB model and $599 (Rs. 39,050) for the 64GB model. The keyboard accessory costs $149 (Rs. 9720). Google said that the tablet will be released around holidays.
