The Pixel C is Google's first Android tablet. With this piece, Internet giant Google was able to prove to us that though its search engine page isn't much colourful, it has a good taste for beauty and colours too. The Google Pixel C which can best be described as a tablet-pc constitute a very compelling option, thanks to its beautiful display, long-lasting battery and detachable design. But what is ironical is that I feel Google failed to effectively optimize Android for better productivity on this tablet.
DESIGN AND DISPLAY
The design of the Google Pixel C makes for a head turning tablet design. The tablet's stereo speakers sit on its sides, and its headphone jack is at the top of its right side. The Pixel C's volume rocker and USB Type-C port are at the top and bottom of its left side, respectively, and the power button sits authoritatively on the top edge.
For the photo freaks the tablet features a 2MP secondary camera which sits on the front in the middle of the bezel above its display, and its 5-MP rear snapper sits on the upper-right corner of its back.

Weighing a scant of 1.1 pounds and measuring 0.3 inches thick, the tablet feels light and ready to follow you everywhere you go like MTN. *wink. THE Pixel C is lighter but thicker than the Lenovo Yoga Tab 3 (1.5 pounds, 0.18 inches) and the iPad Pro (1.57 pounds, 0.27 inches).
For the display, the Google pixel C sports a brilliant 2560 x 1800-pixel display, the tablet also impresses with rich colors and sharp details.
CONFIGURATION AND PRICE
Sporting an Nvidia Tegra X1 processor, 3GB of RAM and a Maxwell GPU, the Pixel C has plenty of power under the shelves.
The Google Pixel C comes with a clean installation of the latest version of Android, version 6.0 Marshmallow. Unfortunately, stock Android hasn't made the leap to being a productivity-ready operating system. What I'm not sure of is if I should criticise Google for this flaw.

As for the price, the 32GB version of the Pixel C costs N100.000; the 64GB version I reviewed costs N130.000. Google sells the metallic and leather folio case versions of the Pixel C Keyboard for the same price, N25.000 .
So do you honestly think this piece from Google deserves your attention? Comment.
