Imagine all those docks sitting around are like minis and you can link the speakers together. That would be sick
The what
That would be awesome, if the tablet isnt docked you can pair it with bluetooth for other devices.
Or just have the stand become a standalone assistant without the screen.
i thought the same thing, they could be used as Chromecast audio receivers, where you could cast to them wirelessly from the pixel tablet or other Google assistant devices. that would be extremely useful
That's why Google is trying to make an open source surround sound codec, that on par with Dolby & DTS.
I just wanna say David Imel was the best hire ever. He's so smart, has the best commentary and overall, I just really appreciate what he has to say on just about any topic.
He's like the only guy who actually remembers everything. EVEN MKBHD himself forgets like 99% of the stuff he says once the video is done, and will contradict himself every video.
To that point I agree and feel the opposite about Andrew. He just gets on my nerves
@@border4554 I think Andrew is also great I think he provides a very important everyman perspective to the brand that would otherwise be missing personally. But I respect that you don't care for him.
@@singular9 I think a lot of that does have to do with the way the production and commentary has evolved, and how Marques has to focus on upscaling the company and some of the big picture stuff. David gets to do what Marques used to do with a smaller audience - know all the facts, and reference them to each other to provide context. Or maybe that's just my rationalization for why this happens haha
@@zrox345 that makes sense actually. I'm very into tech so maybe him being the everyman perspective on a tech channel is why.
This must be the best way to do these podcasts. Love the chemistry…I can actually look forward to many more clips.
I'm with you guys 100%. We need a smart home hub that does automation and handles Matter, as well as a to go tablet when needed (at a sub $500 price). I'm in the same boat where I use my phone for mostly everything, I've never really needed a tablet. But there are those moments (like travel) where I wish I had one. If they try to out price something like an iPad air, it would be so stupid.
It’ll definitely be under the iPad Air price ($600)
Great chat. I think they'll offer it for $399 without the dock, or $499ish with the dock as a bundle.
is a dock really $100?
@@peachierose3356 I would think so because it is a premium audio speaker if it is anything like the Hub Max. What Space_Jam said should be the most realistic pricing.
I had the exact same thought that they'll sell 2 different variants. With and without the dock for a 100$ difference
I agree
Too bad you can't adjust the angle of the screen.
That Thumbnail
The Pixel Tablet is the first tablet I've ever said I'm buying as soon as it's announced. It isn't an iPad, and I don't need it to be. I need an intermediate device between my laptop and my cellphone for use in meetings, where it'll be easier to share the screen around than on either of the other devices I mentioned. I hope this device comes in around $399 for the bare device, and $449 with the dock included.
あっぷ
I think it needs to be closer to $399
I'm excited about a Google tablet not because I want one, but because I'm curious to see how stock Android is gonna evolve to work better on bigger screens. I mean, we've seen what many third party manufacturers do to their tablet skins to try to be a 2 in 1, for example, Samsung with their advanced multi-window features and Dex mode. Would definitely love to see Google's version of those features. And maybe they'll put some of those features on pixel phones, too. (I really want floating windows on Pixel phones.) I'm a bit let down because now it doesn't seem that Google is trying to make a 2 in 1 productivity beast like the iPad pro, but there's still gonna be something that takes advantage of the big screen, right? (Again, stock Android floating windows please.)
Also, the charging dock is definitely gonna be a separate accessory imo. The way I see it, it's kinda like a pixel stand for tablets with more advanced features that truly turns the tablet into a smart display, but it's still a tablet first.
I want it because 1) I have a need for a tablet 2) I'm not spending ipad money on one 3) Want stock android - Literally everything else is just a nice to have.
tablets are having an identity crisis... Steamdeck wants to be a gaming console, iPads simultaneously want and don't want to be "computers", Pixel tablet wants to be a Nest hub
Just think of it as a Nest Hub with a detachable display. It’s target audience is not someone who wants a “Tablet”.
And the galaxy tab S series tried too hard to be a laptop replacement lol
A base iPad is $329, if they can get it to that price with the stand/dock included it would be a huge selling point. Tablet and stand/dock at $399 would be the highest I think they could do it. If they put an OLED in it then it could potentially be worth up to $499 with the stand/dock.
I don't think an OLED is a good idea for this, a product that will be sitting around displaying the same thing nearly 24/7
With all the image algorithms I don't think burn-in would be an issue, especially since a lot of people use them as photo frames. But they would likely have to subtly move the clock and weather info to keep it from burning in.
@@chaddierkes Only so much algorithming you can do, OLED displays have this inherent issue (that has admittedly gotten a lot better in the last couple years).
I still don't really get why you would want an OLED on there 🧐
Impossible
@@chaddierkes OLED burn-in is still and will always be an issue, unless they want to only display information on a small shifting part of the display, like all always-on displays on OLED phones do. And they won't do that. TBH I am interested and all interest will drop if it's OLED. Such a products needs longevity to make sense.
Also, I highly doubt it'll be any cheaper than $450. The nest hub max is over 200, and this is basically a hub max + tablet.
I think it's going to be 399 for the tablet and then an additional charge for the dock. Then probably also a bundle of both that would be like 25$ cheaper than buying separately
I'd love multitasking and a keyboard case with touchpad. I feel like a google-y iPad competitor would be a cool thing to see.
This is so original and how I would discuss with colleagues and friends.. Loved this clip.. And yes I'm excited about the product and looking fwd to it..
I think it would be optional. Like tablets or smartwatches that have a LTE version. This will have an option to buy just the tablet or tablet and dock combination.
This makes a lot of sense.
I've never considered buying a Nest Hub, but this is exactly what I'm using my good old Nexus 7 (2013) for - it's just standing in the kitchen and is constantly changing except for the very few situations like going on a trip or laying sick in bed. Pixel Tablet with the Dock seems perfect for me being larger and with additional speaker. Though, I'll buy it second hand or at least in one or two years on a discount.
I feel like it *should* be better if they come separately, as long as it's priced appropriately. They would definitely sell more of them if there isn't a base included driving up the price, and expecting to sell more of them would drive down the price. On the other hand though, they might price it at like $500 without the stand plus another $100 for the stand and then no one buys it. It could either be the best or the worst.
One way to have a bunch of docks around the house and one tablet would possibly be to put a really simplistic screen on the empty part of the area where the pins are.
Maybe just showing the time or the four dots from the Nest Mini or something like that. That would make me want to replace my Nest Minis for those docking speakers and have a tablet. Just spit-balling here
Men this is an dope Chanel! The interaction between the host is awesome ! Presentation and sound is top quality. En the editor put it all together like an god, even the end of the clip was prefect!
I really hope there is one with a black bezel. The actual pictures have a white bezel but it looks like the black bezel is just for simulated screens.
there is gonna be some tablet cover to enable Marques' use. with some cuts maybe that slide on the charging dock
2:55 I think there will be a case that has connectors that connect with the base that has a magnet in it.
Wonderfully entertaining and insightful show. Thank you 🙂
13:49 yesss! One tablet. 2 or 3 docks at different parts of the house. AND they can all be paired with that one tablet if needed. Great party speakers if you ask me.
Please lets have more of these discussions, they are very great, eye opening and all the sugar words!!
Pretty please🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Regarding 3:08, where Marques talks about taking it off the stand and putting it in a case in the kitchen, if the main thing somone wants is to prop it up and one does not need to charge it at the moment, one could just disconnect the stand from the wire and bring the tablet over to the kitchen with the stand.
Same as them for the use, I basically use the ipad for that functionality around the house. Honestly Id be happy if the current nest hub could get better. I dont really need to lift it off but to properly display recipes from google drive, etc would be awesome. Right now that is one of the main uses for my ipad, recipes cooking in the kitchen. If this isnt insanely expensive this would replace my hub in the kitchen. Also agree, it CANNOT try and compete with the ipad, it will fail miserably. If its like $350-400 and its my home hub that I can occasionally pick up to use automation or google chrome and watch 1080p movies on the road then it would be an automatic sale for me.
Would it be awesome if they could do the typing dock .. I would lovely use it for that.
I wanted to get a nest hub for video calls, but the place that i would put it for 90% of the time makes making video calls so annoying. Being able to be detached solves so many problems like what I have.
I can't wait for this to come out!!!
I have the small nest hub but if they do combine the tablet and the dock into one it will most likely get me to buy it
Would love to see the screen of the hub-mini detachable: finding the size of hub-max to maxed out
This is practically exactly how I use my S5e. I have the official dock and it's main job is to play Audiobooks when in bed. 2nd use is my long trip buddy.
If they supply two bases, one for proper 'hub' duties and a simpler. smaller cheaper one maybe without a speaker, for the kitchen/random spots. Even a wall mount option might be worth a go.
I miss big bezels. That's where my thumbs go.
I agree that having multiple docks around the home unused with pins exposed is a bad idea. Best scenario is it ships together and either 1) automatically connects to the nearest Nest speaker when you walk around your home or 2) has an easy swap shortcut in the quick-toggle options.
Its a good point that MKB brought up, that it switches modes when docked.
Just wish that google put a hardware toggle on device for switching.
And also the mic toggle one like all other nest/echo devices
Not worried about the folio thing since it'll probably be a magnet connector on the back as well. They might price at 399 but sell the dock and/or stylus separately at 99/199 but they better have good enough of a handsfree experience, but for early orders I can also see them doing a few deals like Pixel Buds or Pixel Watch and give the dock out for free as a discount
David is so smart great having him on the team and podcast
Maybe on their site there will be 2 options below the color for stand included and stand not included?
A tablet with dock that turns it into a Nest Hub is EXACTLY what I'm waiting for. This will be a game changer for home automation, among many other things. I'm also not a tablet user, but being able to carry around the Pixel in tablet form to control different parts of the home, will be so good. I'm as excited about this as Andrew.
There will be two options available for purchase: with or without the dock.
Do you think it will run regular android, or if this is to include their new Fuchsia OS that reportedly was used in nest hub?
My question is, does the speaker dock still function as a sorta Google Home Mini when no tablet is attached?
I'd hate to have the tablet left in another room and lose access to Google Assistant voice control without a backup device in the room.
Here's hoping the tablet just adds UI controls and video feed support to an otherwise independent speaker.
IMO, this functionality alone would better justify making the dock an add-on purchase, as it could replace Minis elsewhere in the home where a dock makes sense, like a nightstand or on a desk.
Pair could also mean you have to pair it like the buds or the watch via blooth..?
I have a Nest Hub 7" on my nightstand, which is great, but having the ability to use it as a tablet would be helpful because it would be wonderful to consume basic content without using my phone.
If google makes all the docs apps work like chrome os, make an affordable keyboard case and include the dock in the box it’s replacing my ipad
I want a small table, akin to iPad 6 mini. 8-9 inches 4k screen. Great screen and battery.
4K would be inefficient on that small of a display
@marques there will be folio cases with magnets so that they can connect to the hub
If the hub/dock was a stand alone Google home device that would be great. When the tablet is docked of the interface was like a nest hub, and then switch to android interface when taken off the dock
That iPhone/iPod moment at 7:50 has me in stitches 😅
Anyone else remeber the Google Nexus 7 Tablet from 2012 and it's optional docking station? I've still got mine somewhere haha
I use my iPad for work. So, when I get home, I would love to come home and use this as my Nest Hub. I would have to buy multiple docks for the bedroom, living room and possible kitchen. I would love to have an LTE version, but that might be asking too much. The price will probably be between $499 and $550.
I am a tablet user.. I use it on the commute to work (a laptop doesn't fit in the narrow train seats, but a tablet works) to do simple work stuff, read news and books. I use it at home to play puzzle games and read books. I use it when I go on short trips as a media player.
I do not use any google home device because I don't want a microphone listening in my home (not that it's secret - I just don't think any company should get all that data and I don't trust Google or Amazon). I don't really find voice control much more convenient anyway.. yes I have tried. I like to learn how things work before I make a choice.
I hope the Pixel tablet will be a good allround tablet and that it's sold without the base.
What about using the docks as charging/speakers for my pixel 7?!
The idea of multiple docks and one tablet sounds awesome! Control of your entire home with one device to control sounds throughout your home.
I think the tablet will be priced at about $449 U.S. and the stand will be sold separately for $100. But the speakers on the stand will sound INCREDIBLE!
I had literally assumed the Google Nest Hub would have some battery power, be portable, and have a removable screen - and I was surprised that wasn't the case. It seems entirely logical that this would be the case, so the tablet with various docks seems like a good solution.
I would be so awesome if the dock without the tablet on it would just be like a mini.
I totally agree with Marques it feels like they will definitely sell the doc and tablet separately
for marques the question about the two UIs is answered already with android phones on the dock. If you put your phone in the pixel stand it enables it operating like a hub.
Did the renders show a charging port on the tablet?
wonder if the speaker base will have Bluetooth connection. watching media on it with basically a soundbar
what is the model of the HP laptop?
One thing I'm very confident about is more languages supported. Nest Hub does not work in my native language (even tough it did work for a beta many years ago and mini/audio work well). Since it's a tablet there's a possibility it will work on every assistant language!
When I heard someone say nest hub mini, I thought it was a missed opportunity for the pixel 7 pro to be compatible with the tablet dock. If it is sold separately it would be one of the best wireless charging speaker stands ever.
Imagine your tablet and phone able to connect to many different stands that function as nest minis on their own but then by placing your phone or new tablet it becomes your hub large or small. That would really stick to Apple and magsafe
I have a galaxy tab s6 which I also use as my computer. I would love Google to release something alike to be part of the pixel ecosystem.
Interested to see how nest hub mode would work since it runs on fuschia now
13:15 It would be in google's best intrest to ship it togheter as they have THE smartphone platform and with a tablet the one and only tablet you will need.
Guys please, Amazon did that already last year with their Fire tablets, they all now have a version with wireless charger stand that turns the tablet into an Echo Show when it's charging
My guess is Tensor G2 with 6gb ram. $499 without the dock. Dock will be $99 extra bundled, $199 separate.
Damn Marquez pretty much got all his predictions right
Strange idea but what if they went the Essential/magsafe route and just put pins on all their products. Be kinda awkward but you could drop a pixel phone or like watch/phone accessory thing onto a base.
They better be together! how else are you charging it?
Didn’t Amazon do this a bunch of times already? Plus we had the Ambient Display mode or something other marketing name.
Lenovo did a doc that is similar and I have it. I hardly ever use the dock because I can't case the tablet. Would use this with the right case that let's me dock it with the case on
I mostly watch because I love seeing youse argue and MK trying his hardest to keep a poker face haha
Cheers guys
I’m really excited to see this too! Hopefully the tablet and stand am come in 1 package at decent price. I love new ideas being tried.
My kid would absolutely use this as a tablet and put it back after screen time is over. I'm pumped for this
I wasn't expecting such rave reviews about the Nest Hubs! Out of curiosity what do you folks who have it use it for most regularly?
David is always a win
It just needs something close to Apple's Universal Control with Google Apps. I want to be able to use it as a quasi second screen too.
So I finally will be able to replace the first Google Pixel tablet; the Google Pixel C from 2015.
It's still working great at my place even though I don't get any updates for it any more.
For marques's idea, if there is a case with a foldable stand which has holes in the back for the pins, it will be absolutely perfect
Google home when docked, pop it out to make it a tab with kick stands...... amazing 🎉
I like that idea as well. If there was a case with a cut out for the pins would be great. But also having a thick case could interfere with the docking, so maybe a case with a cutout for the dock to touch the back of the tablet would be great.
Can't wait for a follow-up to this video after I/O. The $500 prediction was right on and that INCLUDES THE DOCK!!!!
hope apple or a third party companie makes a hub like this for the iPad too. i mean doesn't even need much. tbh I would be fine with just a build in charger, speaker and maybe a passthrough usbc.
the iPads already have the smartconnector . and ipad stands exist. im surprised nobody used the smartconnector yet for stuff like this
I'm VERY excited for this product. Definitely something I want
hear me out:
- tablet standalone for 299. the nest hub max is 230 and they don't really need much more power than that, they are probably aiming at scale so the engineering addon will be low.
- separate dock at 49, for people that want more than one or decide to get one later
- combo tablet + dock at 329 for people that want to get all in from the start.
replacing the next hub max with a tablet + dock and a 100 increase in price after 3 years is reasonable, people would still be able to get on board and get a dock later if they want. ugly pins? magnetic cover.
12:42 That laugh doe
will it run android or other os?
There is other reason to do the tablet besides tackling home product experiences: having a true flagship Android tablet experience. OEMs start to ship all kind of new tablet devices already, from folding phone to dual screen phone, heck even Android on Windows. So this is a tablet first, and it will compete with the Air.
This thing needs a killer app or feature to make it stand out. A charging speaker dock is something that existed since there were iPods.
The dock needs to be a speaker when detached too +
G. should also include the 'hub' UI with Android by default, so you can dock any tablet (or phone) and turn it into a hub. Maybe G. should release the Hub UI as an app so we can repurpose old Android devices as hubs... recycling/repurposing kudus
Could mean a lot for the future of Fuchsia. Nest hub runs Fuchsia, not android. Would the pixel tablet be the first big transition to Fuchsia and the start of the phasing out of android?
I really want to see a Pixel Tablet "a" with the full on fuchsia OS. Or even a beta tester update for this Pixel Table
@@JxcksonSF like the old school google play edition phones but fuchsia edition devices
loving clips
i have an ipad pro but have nest hubs, i still want this!
I appreciate the competition, it'd be cool to see a dock like that for the iPad, but as a power user I wouldn't really go with android for a tablet... or a tablet that's supposed to stay on a dock. I'm more of the idea that they should be for note-taking and studying
Also I agree with Marques, it'll probably be just the tablet. Doesn't make sense to include the dock for the people who only want the device and aren't interested in home automation. Otherwise, there'll just be tons of docks gathering dust in the box.
2:31 my mind instantly said: "it's hubbing time"
I'm still waiting for the day I can make all my nest speakers into a full surround sound system for my TV
so many gadgets all across the house from speakers to nest hub, earbuds, and smartphones. Interestingly all of them provide significant common service as playing music or watching videos, receiving calls, or turning off lights. Seriously how many gadgets are required to turn off a light? where would you listen to some music on a loop?
Agree 100 % lets hope they go with Nexus pricing :)
The second gen of this thing, should be a NEST HUB at home, and a Android automotive display in your car. That would be sick. Wishful thinking tho. That would be the ultimate functionality of this thing tho.
This already was tryed but on the low end of things by lenovo a few years ago
