The Google Pixel Slate: What It Is And What It Means For Chrome OS
The Google Pixel Slate is a new Chromebook, designed for everything and anything the Google Assistant has to say. This device is a significant upgrade from the current models on the market, with a focus on making this device powerful enough to go head-to-head with other laptops.
What is a Pixel Slate?
The Google Pixel Slate is a new Chrome OS devic announced at the company’s October 4th event. It is a 12.3-inch tablet that has a stylus built in and comes with an optional keyboard case.
Chrome OS is Google’s lightweight operating system that was first released in 2011 as an alternative to Windows and macOS. It uses web apps instead of native applications, making it very user-friendly and portable. In addition, because Chromebooks are typically cheaper than macOS or Windows laptops, they make great educational tools or secondary devices for families.
The Google Pixel Slate comes with an 8th-generation Intel Core i5 processor, 8GB of RAM, 256GB of storage space, and a 12MP rear-facing camera with dual autofocus pixels and phase detection autofocus (PDAF). It also has a 5MP front-facing camera for video calling and Facetime calls. The device has a lithium-ion battery which provides up to 10 hours of use when using the tablet without the keyboard case
The price and release date
The Pixel Slate comes in two variants: a 10.5-inch model and a 12.3-inch model.
The 10.5-inch model costs $799 and the 12.3-inch model costs $999, both of which are available for preorder starting on April 25th, 2019. The Pixel Slate has a similar design to the Asus Chromebook Flip C302CA but with an updated processor and better display quality.
The biggest difference between the Pixel Slate and other Chrome OS tablets is that it has a stylus pen input option called “Pencil Mode.” Pencil Mode allows you to use your stylus pen to write notes or drawings instead of using your finger or a mouse pointer.
Overall, we think that the Google Pixel Slate is a great device that offers many improvements over other Chrome OS tablets on the market today.
Why does the new Pixel Slate matter for Chrome OS?

These are perfect for students or people who are on the go. And Also these are very affordable compared to other laptop options.
However, there are some limitations to Chromebooks that can be problematic for some users. They don’t offer as much power or storage as regular laptops.
