Pixel C

Joanna Stern:

Tablets are going through puberty. Google’s new Pixel C, which begins shipping Tuesday, is the best—or worst—example I’ve seen of this yet.

Make sure to watch her video.

Walt Mossberg:

But the worst part about this device, which starts at $499 for the tablet alone, is that Google has made no discernible effort to create software to match the screen real estate afforded by the first tablet it has designed and built itself. It has forfeited the big advantage its rival Apple has traded on for decades: the ability to blend your own hardware and software to provide a superior user experience.

I was curious what they came up with. I’m not any more.
