Pixel Slate users complain some devices are being crippled by storage failure

Chris Merriman November 2, 2020

A handful of Google Pixel Slate users are reporting a mysterious bug that is forcing their devices into read-only mode, where they stubbornly remain.

It's no secret that the Pixel Slate was not Google's most well-received device. While reviews for their previous Chromebooks were very positive, people were not as sold on Chrome OS on a tablet. Google has apparently decided to give up on tablets and instead focus on the laptop form factor for Chrome OS. According to a...

Google stops selling the entry-level Pixel Slate with the Celeron processor

George Burduli June 6, 2019

In recent years, Google has put serious investment into its hardware business. They manufactured three series of Pixel smartphones as well as the Pixelbook and the Pixel Slate. The latter wasn't that well received by reviewers, but I can say for sure that it has its fans. The device was introduced alongside the Pixel 3...

Chrome OS 75 includes big performance updates for the Pixel Slate in tablet mode

Doug Lynch May 14, 2019

Google has partnered with a few companies to see if the premium Chrome OS market is viable or not. Chromebooks gained popularity for the most part due to their price compared to other laptops. They've been able to do the same in the 2-in-1 market as well, but again, mainly when the price is concerned....

Google is reportedly scaling back its laptop and tablet divisions

Aamir Siddiqui March 13, 2019

Google is the disputed king when it comes to software and associated technologies, but the same cannot be said for hardware. Google hasn't had much success with most of its hardware offerings, and a recent report from Business Insider indicates that this is unlikely to change in the short term future too.

Google Pixel Slate Chromebook Detachable Video Review

Jeff McIntire January 10, 2019

Google was the third manufacturer to introduce the tablet form factor to Chrome OS in the form of the Pixel Slate. Google's answer to Microsoft's Surface PC features a top-mounted power button that doubles as a fingerprint reader, dual front-facing speakers, and a 3000x2000 "molecular" display. "Molecular" is Google's fancy marketing buzzword for a low-temperature...

Joe Fedewa November 6, 2018

Remember the Pixel Slate? Google announced their latest Chromebook during the Pixel 3 event in October, but they never shared an official launch date. We still don't have a launch date, but the device is up for pre-order from multiple outlets. Pricing starts at $600 and goes all the way up to $1,600. The Pixel Slate...

New Chrome OS flag will enable Google Assistant on all Chromebooks

Joe Fedewa October 24, 2018

Google Assistant started a couple of years ago on just Allo and Google Pixel phones. Slowly, it has been added to many more devices. Almost any Android phone can use Assistant now, but Chromebooks are still lagging behind. Currently, only the Pixelbook and Pixel Slate support Google Assistant on Chrome OS.

The Google Pixel Slate is a High-End, Detachable Chrome OS Tablet

Mishaal Rahman October 9, 2018

From the very beginning, Chrome OS has always been about 3 things: Speed, Simplicity, and Security. Google’s heavily customized operating system built upon the Linux kernel runs exceptionally well on almost any hardware, but unlike many GNU/Linux distributions that need you to have some level of familiarity with a terminal, Chrome OS is designed to be...
