Google Pixel C Specs: Awesome Tablet, But Not A Worthy Replacement For Laptops?
Even a casual look over the key Google Pixel C specs will give you the vibe that the Mountain View-based tech giant left virtually no stones unturned to make their first solo foray into the tablet market a grand success.
Apparently, Google wanted to make Pixel C a credible alternative to bulky laptops.
So, quite naturally, it had to be stuffed with the best possible hardware combination Google could afford without compromising on the device's commercial viability.
The result speaks for itself. The first thing you will notice about the Google Pixel C specs is its elegant, but sturdy aluminum design.
Along with the optional magnetic Bluetooth keyboard which is currently priced somewhere around $150 or less, the device turns into a rather impressive hybrid aimed to boost your productivity.
It runs on Android 6.0 Marshmallow (upgradable). An eight-core Nvidia Tegra X1 64-bit CPU powers the Pixel C, whereas the graphics is handled by a built-in 256 core Maxwell GPU.
Worth noting, this is the same graphics power that powers Nvidia's GeoForce desktop GPUs.
According to Nvidia, the chip can seamlessly support 4k videos at 60 frames-per-second. Apart from that, the Pixel C also comes equipped with 3 GB or RAM.
Due to its build quality, the tablet is slightly more on the heavier side when connected to the keyboard.
But then, that's the kind of trade-off most users will be happy to cope with considering the overall performance of the device.
Priced at around $500 (32 GB) and $600 (64 GB), the Pixel C also boasts a pretty impressive 10.2-in that truly enhances your gaming, browsing, and video experience.
However, the most remarkable aspect about Google Pixel C specs is its longer battery life.
At 12+ hours, the device's battery is certainly leagued ahead of the vast majority of Android tablets out there in the market.
Overall, the 32 GB variant of the Pixel C is guaranteed to deliver a computing experience worth $500, which is precisely the price of the device at Google's store.
However, the only thing that bothers a lot of users is that in order to get that $500 worth computing experience, they have to shell out somewhere around $650 (the additional $150 is for the Bluetooth keyboard which is sold separately).
Hence, one may draw the conclusion that Pixel C is unlikely to build itself the reputation of being the best hybrid alternative to laptops.
But even then, a closer look at some of its biggest competitors in the market shows that Google Pixel C specs are still powerful enough to make it the best Android tablet around today.
