I posted earlier about my c and not much has changed. I had been wanting a new nexus 10 and the c might as well be it. The reviews are all pretty spot on where the main problem is Android itself, but you already know what to expect there. I initially had problems with touch input but they magically went away. I've never had any problems with the keyboard but that seems to happen due to 2.4GHz congestion and my house is all 5GHz WiFi. I don't take mine outside so the reflective screen doesn't matter to me either. One thing I haven't seen mentioned is some older games don't handle the aspect ratio properly and they crop instead of letterbox, making them unplayable.

My Pixel C got the February patch and it came with a keyboard update, too. I wonder if it's supposed to fix the connectivity issues some are having.

BottleKnight posted:Has any of the software issues (pinch to zoom issues, relatively common crashes and hard reboots, failure to register taps accurately) been fixed by a firmware update or something? Was curious if all of these were fixed in a couple of months or if I should really just stay away from the tablet because of that stuff. I've never had any crashes or reboots on mine. I can't remember pinch zoom ever failing but that's not something I do all that often. I did have problems with the touchscreen responsiveness at first but that mysteriously went away and hasn't come back. I don't remember there being an update that fixed it, it just started working all the time. It does get updates every month just like a Nexus would. It's the fastest mobile device I've ever used and I think that's due to the GPU. I do have a few gripes but they're minor. The screen doesn't get dim enough on the lowest setting and the speakers are still too loud on the lowest setting. I can't read on it in bed without lighting up the whole room and if my girlfriend is reading I'll have to play a game in a different room. I also wish that the keyboard had dedicated buttons to replace the softkeys. You can do search+enter for home, search+backspace for back but these both require two hands unless you really want to stretch. Alt+tab works as expected. I think it's ridiculous that the keyboard even has an alt key as that's all I've ever used it for. I'd also like there to be home/end keys. I'd still say it's the nicest Android tablet you can buy.

The new home app has some screenshots in it that look like they're from a tablet with a similar form factor to the Nexus 7 but with different bezels and camera location. The clock shows 4:20 but it's definitely not a Nexus 10 (or 4 for that matter) so maybe there's a new tablet coming? Of course it could just be a generic render. e: poo poo it might be a Nexus 9, I always forget about that one.

So the Pixelbook is almost exactly what I wanted but without any biometric authentication. Probably going to buy the i7 version anyway when it's available.

bull3964 posted:Ended up cancelling my preorder of the Pixelbook through Amazon as they hosed up their inventory and are now giving DECEMBER shipping estimates. For a pre-order, gently caress that. I'm excited to hear about it, all the reviews so far have been great. I'm still set on the i7 though.

I must have gotten pretty lucky with my C, as I'm a pretty big screen sperg and didn't notice it. I can't check it out now since I gave it away when my Pixelbook came in. Which I'm typing this on right now. This is probably the nicest piece of hardware I've ever owned. The whole thing feels solid and uniform and the hinges have the perfect amount of resistance. I got the i7 version and the performance is astounding with such a lightweight OS. The trackpad is the best I've ever used and I hate to say it but the keyboard is better than the one on my Thinkpad. I'm thinking about getting the pen. Has anyone tried it?

The pen holder for my Pixelbook came in. It's just a teal fabric loop stitched to a faux leather ~1.5" square pad with some 3M adhesive on the back. You're supposed to stick it to the underside of the base with the loop sticking out so you can slip the pen in. The pad is gray but it doesn't match any of the other grays on the device. It's also thicker than the feet on the bottom of the laptop so if you do attach it, your Pixelbook won't sit perfectly flat anymore. The little card it came with also shows it being attached on the left side so it can get in the way of your volume and power keys. I give Pixelbook pen holder an eight out of ten, and it kicks aaaass.

Our IT department went let anyone get Surfaces because of their failure rate. My girlfriend's company uses them and are apparently considering the same. Google has given up on Android tablets so the only things left are half-assed garbage churned out by Samsung and Chinese OEMs. If you want something with good support, good performance and a UI that's designed for the screen size, either suck it up and buy an iPad or spend even more on a chromeos device.

Stormangel posted:Can anyone else with a new Pixel tablet check something for me? In the clock app the option to have an alarm trigger an assistant routine is missing. Googling yields no hits for the Pixel tablet specifically, but people report that option missing if the assistant language is different from the system, but mine are both US English. I'd just like a sanity check.
