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

    Pixel tablets are not priced as if Google is “desperate to sell Pixel Tablets”.

    I think the author is confusing “marketing team motivation” for “desperation” just because they got a push notification.

      Yeah, I looked up the price because I’ve been thinking of replacing the basic tablet I bought a couple of years ago.

      The Pixel tablet is six times the price. Desperate my ass.

        What’s even stranger is just how much of that cost is for just the base/speaker unit. It’s $130 on its own. And, unless I’m misremembering, it doesn’t even function as a bluetooth speaker, so it’s effectively only usable by the tablet. Just bizarre choices, IMO.
