Google is desperate to sell Pixel Tablets, pushing ads via notifications
Have you received the “Meet the Google Pixel Tablet” notification already?
I found this, I'm wanting to get a pixel tablet in about a week or so. Title just got me wondering a bit, though it's probably just a little bit sensationalized

The problem is that Galaxy Tab S is far superior and lasts a heck of a long time.
Google should have done what they did with Wear and worked with Samsung to provide a seamless tablet interface instead of try to do their own tablet.
The far cheaper Galaxy Tab A series is a near equivalent competitor for where Google is positioning its tablet (an at-home media device, rather than a highly-performant professional device), and for a lot of people, trading the considerably lower price for no docking station and some older specs is worthwhile.
Google need to either make the docking capability a lot more appealing, or reduce the price significantly because at the moment it sits squarely in the home entertainment sphere, but with a price tag creeping up to match professional-tier devices - why would someone pay the premium for what is effectively an ebook and Youtube device?
The problem with the Galaxy Tab A series is that Samsung cheaps out on their SOCs, to the point where they're unusably slow for even simple web browsing and watching YouTube.
The average person buys one because they're cheap, then thinks all Android tablets suck because of how awful Samsung's A series tablets have been for years and goes and buys an iPad.
I can definitely confirm that. My grandma owns a Galaxy tab A7 lite and it is so slow. And I can't get it to go any faster no matter what I do. I have no idea how she tolerates that thing, though she does mainly use it just for Facebook, as well as a few solitaire games, including one that hasn't been updated since like 2017.
