Elementary and middle school students. Hell some small business folks are transitioning into Google Docs and their drive. However Microsoft with their One Drive could storage and Office 365 will outshine them. Better software and better features, but yes at a cost.
iPad: Great tablet which just isn’t good enough for laptop use with a amazing pen Surface: Amazing laptop with some tablet input but just isn’t good enough for just tablet use Slate: a laggy terrible laptop and a no good tablet with no optimization
%100 agreed. Surface Pro will always remain the best 2 in 1 than the laggy Pixel Slate. However iPad boasts in tablet UI so iPad and Windows tablets are the best.
I LOVE how Linus isn’t afraid to tear a product apart even if he can recognize the work it can take to even get it to where it is. I hope these tech companies take Linus’s criticism seriously, he’s no fanboy of anyone. He just wants good products. It’s what we should all strive for. Not good iPhones, not good chrome books, not good surface pros, good tech.
These people are slaying their game now. The production quality has honestly been skyrocketing. The intro was beautiful. And the review with all those shots and cut scenes? Outright exemplary. Good job. You are out pacing your own abilities. And moving out of your comfort zone is proving to be a good move.
I'd prefer lesser production quality. Maybe some spastic nerd yelling at the screen, spittle foaming at the mouth, while the camera shakes around, screaming "IT SUUCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCKSSS, brought to you by Ant Lion Audio "
It's weird rewatching this again since the iPad has added a USB-C port, external storage support, mouse support and an improved screen rotation system. Basically every pro of the Pixel Slate has been added to the iPad Pro now, although I do still wish Google worked on a Slate-esque device, just at a lower price point with the same premium feel (Surface Pro style)
I use one when I go on vacation. It's a $200 computer that doesn't get viruses, I can read my email, check the weather, etc., and display Netflix on the hotel TV screen when my wife and I want to watch something. Best of all I can't use it to do any real work. So since I've started taking it instead of a laptop, I haven't gotten sucked into a single work 'emergency'! But, yeah, it's not work machine (unless your work is surfing the web and answering email), and it's a long way from being one.
My company provided me with a Chromebook to keep at home just for emergencies in case I couldn't get to the office and didn't have my primary Dell Latitude laptop with me (like it was still docked on my desk at the office and I was unexpectedly stuck at home, which has happened many times). What do I DO with said Chromebook? I can do a lot of my work stuff in Chrome OS but not all of it, so I have to use Remote Desktop to get to the rest in Windows. But I can still do everything on the Chromebook. But I sure would rather have my real computer with me if I could because Remote Desktop is slooooooooowwwwww.
I bought an Asus Chromebook Flip C100 whatever it's called YEARS ago and I've always loved it. Super lightweight, was only 200-ish bucks and serves as my go to for certain things. It's great but that's largely due to the fact that it was so absurdly cheap. An expensive Chromebook is like expensive fast food.
I agree completely. This Chromebook Slate thing has to compete with the Surface line, which is leaps and bounds better for the price that you'll have to pay...
Amen, and they updated the flip C100, it's all-metal and has two USB-C ports now...and it's still only $200, it's PERFECT. Meanwhile, I have no idea what I'd even do with a more powerful version (as I too have a real laptop and desktop), the extra money just seems to make it less portable (the C100 is 10inches) and have a shorter battery. I can chuck 15 chrome tabs onto the C100....what else do I need it for?
So they are adding features that others already had (they should sue themselves since they would rather spend resources in court than tech) like copy/paste, file manager. When will they have the ability to download apps outside the App Store? Only feature stopping me from getting one... Will I need he dongle for that? I would legit be willing to have a dongle for that...
@@bharathjoshua9332 What about downloading files from the developer directly? Like Android has APK files, Pocket PC had CAB and exe. That way if the app becomes available on the app store or even the app store closes down you can still install it as long as you have the file. I never got Windows Phone for that reason, and good thing coz I'd be stuck with a phone only able to use the apps it already has running on it. Where as my older pocket PC I can still install my CAB and EXE files offline.
MPG187 Like honestly. It feels like you complained that they didn't have it. Now that they do you are still complaining. I hate certain aspects of iPadOS on my device, too. When I skype with my boss and split view to look at notes the camera just gets turned off (not Skypes fault, as iPadOS does not handle permissions well in split view); sometimes it just bugs the hell out, but it works very well. 700$ for an iPad Pro is not as expensive, as it might seem, when you compare it to the Chromebook Slave here. As a last argument: Even if not well implemented, there are workarounds to install IPAs and sign them on your own automatically; don't see why you would want to do that though. App Store independency is cool and all, but other than 3 important apps I use, everything important is 0$ in the app store anyways.
Me too. The only problem really with Surface Pro (other than the lack of Type-C port at this gen) is actually also its strength, Windows 10. Not because the OS is bad, but Microsoft for no reason at all hasn't really trying to improve the Tablet Mode since they released Windows 10 on 2015, we did get Pen improvements though so there's that. Microsoft has to really realized that Tablet Mode is really the only thing they have to address and quit this "Windows 8-phobia" which seems they are really avoiding anything from that OS. Windows 8 was not great for desktop, but it was for tablet use and they have to be open and get all the great ideas from Windows 8 that works for tablets. People were complaining about Windows 8 on desktop, but not on tablets (except for apps which is entirely different problem).
KornKernel yes I agree. For now I have gotten past the usb c limitation by using the over expensive surface connect to usb c adapter with a usb c hub. Hopefully they improve on the tablet features and include usb c in next revision.
Yeah, Windows-based 2in1s are just more capable (and they also come in ultra-cheap versions for sub-300$). Windows can pretend to be a tablet OS decently enough to be usable as one, but Android isn't nearly good enough at pretending to be a full-sized OS.
I've always said the Surface Pro is a tablet that thinks it's a laptop and the Surface Book is a laptop that thinks it's a tablet. I have a Surface Pro 3 and after almost 4 years of use, absolutely love it.
Younis Hajeer both unbox therapy and Linus are biased.unbox is heavily biased though.even though Linus sings praises for android on its subreddit even they say that you shouldn’t take Linus’s word when it comes to consoles or Apple products
LTT is miles better than Unbox Therapy. They actually review shit and know what they're talking about. Not just sit at a table screaming and acting like a moron.
What's sad as that Google really had the opportunity to make the perfect OS. What they should have done is taken a lightweight Linux distro and added all the google stuff to it, like the store, g suite, chrome, google assistant and prettied it up. Then KEPT existing Linux features, like support for 3rd party apps through the terminal. They also should have had two skews, one for ARM and one for x86-64. This creates an OS that is functional, fast, and secure for everyone, whether that be a grandma that just uses facebook or the developer/power user.

Vova Cosmonauth same- i have a macbook pro 2012 128 ssd, 4gigs of ram ( i traded it with my asus vivobook) believe it or not, the macbook i have now works better than the asus.
Guys. How about you try using that DS stylus you love oh so dearly on a modern device and tell me if it works. Bonus points if you'll get pressure sensitivity and angle detection as well.
If chrome os is all about being lightweight and basically windows light. Why do all the devices it's on cost so much. The chrome os lineup should be $200-$500. Otherwise chrome os needs to be a real os.
yeah I dunno man I got my new Lenovo laptop for 500 dollars and it has a 2nd gen ryzen 5 genuine windows 10,4-5hrs of battery life I mean its waaaaay better than a ios or chrome os device plus I can also install ubuntu or any other os
I've got a Surface Pro but the 2018 iPads are really better drawing devices. If that's your thing of course. If you need a laptop/tablet go for the SP.
@@Trazynn If you only care about the drawing a drawing tablet is better for that price. And I think the surface pro better fits the description tablet/laptop.
For the record, I'm really digging the new 2:1 aspect ratio on Linus' new videos. Also, Linus' jadedness when it comes to reviewing tech products is so helpful here.
I am a Technology Coordinator at K12 school and I use my Google Pixel Slate as my daily driver and love it and I have found many ways to make it work for me to the point to not need a Windows or Mac PC to do my job.
Chromebooks had a niche. They were incredibly cheap and did basically everything you needed if you just needed the basics. When they first announced chromebooks with core i5s and i7s I called it a mistake because it doesn't have a fucking purpose. The OS just can't take advantage of that hardware. It's increasing the price for no benefit, and the price was what chromebooks had going for them.
From what people have found in updates, it seems very likely that the Google ChromeOS devices are getting multiboot support very soon, that could radically change the situation esp. if the price drops and they include a Windows license. Then they'd be trading blows with a Surface in terms of desktop experience, while delivering a much better tablet experience.
@@me2olive They already have an option to enable the Linux shell. If you want the complete desktop experience you can install Linux with Crouton. Both ways work.
Your summary of this article expresses the precise reason why I was so flustered when I was shopping for my Surface 3, finding reviews, that basically *all of them* said "Just get an iPad Pro." .... *No.* The iPad Pro is not the computer I'm shopping for. The SURFACE is the computer I'm shopping for, and I want to see what it can do! (Note, this was last-gen iPad Pro, and Surface 3 series machines, when the Surface 4 series was just coming out. Yes, I'm broke as piss, I shop old gen, so sue me.)
@@jaitroll2520 it most certainly was laundry, im not sure what people are talking about, its legit just an interesting way to bring up the sponsor, especially because it was clearly clothes and not trash lol

$200 for a keyboard? thats the price of a cheap laptop
the price of my 2nd hand elitebook
That's the price of a pretty nice wireless mechanical keyboard which you could use with the Pixel Slate.
@@Alternatoast it is everything but nice
I've got my Dell Latitude e6420 with i7, 8g RAM and 128 SSD for 180$ xD - well it's old, but it does the job =)
Vova Cosmonauth same- i have a macbook pro 2012 128 ssd, 4gigs of ram ( i traded it with my asus vivobook) believe it or not, the macbook i have now works better than the asus.
I miss the days of the Nintendo DS when styluses weren't $100
You could use a toothbrush as a stylus, the DS just took it
First Name Last Name stil like 5$ for like 8pens
@Anon Commenter why does it need buttons and bluetooth?
>comparing a ds stylus to a modern tablet stylus
okay where do I begin from here
Guys. How about you try using that DS stylus you love oh so dearly on a modern device and tell me if it works.
Bonus points if you'll get pressure sensitivity and angle detection as well.
I was so amazed with the sponsor transition that I didn't hear the ad itself.
loved the switch to the sponsor ad it was super smooth press F to pay respects
If chrome os is all about being lightweight and basically windows light. Why do all the devices it's on cost so much. The chrome os lineup should be $200-$500. Otherwise chrome os needs to be a real os.
*Premium™* quality.
well the majority of chrome os devices are indeed cheap
I love my £200 Chrome book
yeah I dunno man I got my new Lenovo laptop for 500 dollars and it has a 2nd gen ryzen 5 genuine windows 10,4-5hrs of battery life I mean its waaaaay better than a ios or chrome os device plus I can also install ubuntu or any other os
The two Chromebooks I've had haven't cost more than $200
What happened is that Google failed to implement RGB into their devices
they did actually, the chromebook pixel had an rgb strip in the back.
Of course. Everyone knows that rgb adds 2ghz to cpu performance

Hell, I'd rather get the Surface Go.
Get a Surface Go and a holiday.
I've got a surface go, it's great
Started using a surface for college, amazing device. Apple is dead to me now.
I've got a Surface Pro but the 2018 iPads are really better drawing devices. If that's your thing of course. If you need a laptop/tablet go for the SP.
@@Trazynn If you only care about the drawing a drawing tablet is better for that price. And I think the surface pro better fits the description tablet/laptop.
it clicks the trackpaaaaaad!!!! *hysterical Linus voice*
That keyboard is more like a third party keyboard that should work with a bunch of tablets. Not a first party keyboard for one tablet.
For the record, I'm really digging the new 2:1 aspect ratio on Linus' new videos. Also, Linus' jadedness when it comes to reviewing tech products is so helpful here.
When your sponsor is as bad as the pixel slate
Linus: Yup put them in the same trash can, i am geting my money anyways
This video is brought to you by the microphone we throw in the bin.
You put your laundry in the bin?
@@olican101 Do you put your microphone or tablet in the laundry?
@@SirKnobofCheese do you park your car in an argos, on a Thursday?
@@Oli420X No at Tescos on tuesday. Do you punch a nun in the face on a friday or saturday?

I was not expecting that segway
I am a Technology Coordinator at K12 school and I use my Google Pixel Slate as my daily driver and love it and I have found many ways to make it work for me to the point to not need a Windows or Mac PC to do my job.
Oh my god that sponsor transition tho
guy is too creative
Chromebooks had a niche. They were incredibly cheap and did basically everything you needed if you just needed the basics. When they first announced chromebooks with core i5s and i7s I called it a mistake because it doesn't have a fucking purpose. The OS just can't take advantage of that hardware. It's increasing the price for no benefit, and the price was what chromebooks had going for them.
If they can sell it to naive customers saying it has more power and it's faster then why not?
Just run Linux on it.
From what people have found in updates, it seems very likely that the Google ChromeOS devices are getting multiboot support very soon, that could radically change the situation esp. if the price drops and they include a Windows license. Then they'd be trading blows with a Surface in terms of desktop experience, while delivering a much better tablet experience.
@@me2olive They already have an option to enable the Linux shell. If you want the complete desktop experience you can install Linux with Crouton. Both ways work.
And for those of us who consider Linux to be a garbage OS?
When google tries to enter Surface territory.
Microsoft: Stay out of my territory.
Wow! That was a creative and unusual intro and sponsored video I have ever seen.
That intro reminds me of My Name Is Earl.
You are on the list.

Hey random person scrolling down the comments..
Happy New Year, and all the best in 2019 :)
You too
Happy New Year! I used to exchange words over the internet with someone from Guelph!
You too holm
You too bud!
Hey happy new year everyone
Watching this after the 2020 iPad Pro and Magic Keyboard announcement: I’m laughing.
same
the 1k dislikes are google employes
Employees can't do that, it'll reflect badly on the image of the company. Contractors on the other hand are disposable scapegoats.
Well, Linus was honestly very smooth with his review on this one
@@sixclaws r/woooooooooosh
oh, did I just wooooooooosh myself.....
@@thenobletrooper7021 Nope you're good.
if you're reading this
happy new year
Thats a genius cut to the sponsor 👍
Your summary of this article expresses the precise reason why I was so flustered when I was shopping for my Surface 3, finding reviews, that basically *all of them* said "Just get an iPad Pro."
.... *No.* The iPad Pro is not the computer I'm shopping for.
The SURFACE is the computer I'm shopping for, and I want to see what it can do!
(Note, this was last-gen iPad Pro, and Surface 3 series machines, when the Surface 4 series was just coming out. Yes, I'm broke as piss, I shop old gen, so sue me.)
"Maybe in another 4 years Google...."
**Pixel Tablet shipping in June**
Soo then the sponsor is trash?
Lmao.. ModMic actually had really good reviews. LMG kinda fucked up right there.
I don’t think that was a trash can.
@@LUISDAB3AST I think it's laundry
@@jaitroll2520 it most certainly was laundry, im not sure what people are talking about, its legit just an interesting way to bring up the sponsor, especially because it was clearly clothes and not trash lol
samuel austin
yes
Honestly, this product just shows how good the surface is and I dont even like microsoft.
Well, for once, Microsoft did a pretty good job. They also did a pretty good job on Lumia, but too bad it couldn't pick up. Still using Lumia 525, loving this phone more than any other.
Not as a tabket
I feel like the "good hardware, bad software" explains every single Chromebook ever made
"Maybe in another four years, Google." After this, Google starts to crying...
Why were you not in rewind
The rewind sucked anyway.
Glad Linus wasn't in a trash video
Who wants to be in that trash anyway
@@phantomjoker6767 WTF we replied almost the same thing at the same time
0:13 i saw the fail on instagram🤣
Looking back at this, the intro should have had the tablet land on a google clip, google glass, and whatever other failed google products out there
That sponsor transition was seamless
If you want a great tablet: Get an iPad
If you want a great tablet/computer: Get a Surface
If you want to waste your money: Get a Google Pixel Slate
If you buy this over a regular laptop, you must be crazy.
When Apple resolves the complaints many people have with the iPad Pro this fall, maybe it won’t be so crazy.
@@WWIIDDSS It's still nuts to spend $1,000 & $200 for a keyboard for any google-bound android. It would probably be worth more if it was rooted, so the user was in control of the OS & the device.
PSK Research My bad, I was going back and forth between two videos commenting, I thought you were speaking of the iPad Pro. As far as Google devices, I agree, I personally wouldn’t from the perspective of privacy. Do you want to trust a company whose greatest source of revenue is the info they have on you?
Video: *plays*
Me: *wtf* ads on yt premium???
Also me: wait, it's the video!!!
😅😅
Okay google, fix your voice recognition.
Google: Sorry, I didn't quite hear what you said there.
Me: :^)
first video i watch in 2019 :o
me too lol happy new year
@@randytingle2416 i hope u have a great year too ahahhaha
So what you're saying is that the new modmic wireless is also trash since it's in the same bin where the tablet ended
they didn't think that one through...
@@cyberbird451 or it actually is poop and they wanted to drive that home without sacrificing the money
Either way, people here in the comments are talking about it so that's a success
Do you through your clothes in the trash (bin) when they are dirty? That would be a hamper in the video.
@@zachdemand4508 I think they cared too much about their sponsorships to actually use a bin, haha. Essence is still the same though, it's a place where unwanted gadgets end up
That's gotta be one of the best intro + ad segues you guys have done
Fuckin lost it when Reilly said "just use Google Docs!" lmao
Me: Alexa what’s wrong with google?

Maybe it would be nice if you could seamlessly dual boot windows 10 on this...
They're working on it
You can run Linux on it I'm pretty sure. It's better then Chrome OS, but there are still some things you need windows for depending on what you are working on.
If you can find a USB-C flash stick or a USB-A to USB-C adaptor I'm sure you can figure out how to put Windows 10 on it
@@Icybubba the connection type is not the issue. It's the BIOS/bootloader being locked down that stops it.
Nope, it's locked in the BIOS
Google is just crazy. Why don't they just make the screen round as well since they are so fond of circles.
the corners are round
wtf did i just read
I wonder at what point do they make a computer so slim it just cuts you if you're not careful.
