The iPad Pro has long been my go-to tablet, so what would happen when I left it for the Google Pixel Tablet? It changed my opinion about Android tablets.

Android tablets aren’t a patch on the Apple iPad, right? I mean, they don’t come close in app compatibility, performance, or versatility — making Android as an operating system good on phones, but disappointing on tablets. That’s the rule, and it’s one I have followed for some time.

Related When I added the Magic Keyboard, it became a secondary work device too, and although I didn’t travel far in 2020 and 2021, it was perfect for use in the car, coffee shops, parks, and other nearby locations. This is how it has operated ever since, and I doubt I’m all that different from other people. Tablets are perfect for videos, books, shopping, some work, social networks, and games.

Getting the right accessories I think it’s safe to say I was not an Android tablet fan, and when Digital Trends’ Mobile Editor Joe Maring gave the Google Pixel Tablet a low score in his review, I had few reasons to think anything had changed. When I first used the Pixel Tablet, I found how I really like the way it docks and becomes a smart home display, but the rest of the experience wasn’t very inspiring.

Living with the Pixel Tablet When I work outside, I just need a keyboard and a word-processing app. It would be a poor showing if Google Docs didn’t work very well on the Pixel Tablet, but luckily it’s great, and the K3 keyboard stayed connected without a problem. The tablet also linked to the Google Pixel Fold so I could grab an internet connection. Why use a Bluetooth keyboard? The Pixel Tablet’s onscreen keyboard hides some punctuation, and stopping to find them breaks my flow.

I love this feature, and it’s something I can’t do with the iPad, where I often get a notification that the battery is down to 10% after I forget to plug it in. The Pixel Tablet and the amazing dock avoid this problem, and it does mean it’s always ready to go when I leave the house while remaining useful at other times. It really is a fantastic feature; it’s just a shame that once the Pixel Tablet is out of the house, the experience isn’t quite so polished.

Has my opinion about Android tablets changed? After solidly using the Pixel Tablet for a week, has my opinion about it and Android tablets in general changed? I have warmed to the Pixel Tablet, and Android on it is far more usable on a daily basis than ever before. The convenience of the dock makes it very special, and I can forgive the 60Hz refresh rate when I’m watching videos.
