A usable Nest Hub!

I received this product at a discounted price in exchange for my honest review.

Having been in the Google ecosystem for over a decade now, Google has yet surprised me with another product.
Their previous Google Nest Hub/Max were great during their time but something was lacking with them. You couldn't run your usual Android apps on them. Nor could you use the screen for much else in its fixed position and chunkiness.

All those problems are solved with the Google Pixel Tablet!
Finally!

It works as a great digital display, playing through all my Google Photo albums allowing me to reminsce on old photos. With the functionality of apps, navigating the Google Tablet for cooking is so much easier. You can load up a Youtube video without having to cast it so you can watch your favourite recipes being made step by step without the hassle of touching your phone. Then when you need to turn around to go to the stove, you can simply take the screen with you and lay it on the counter next to your ever-moving kitchen working area. Gone are the days of turning your neck like an owl.

Then also add on the fact that it's a tablet is great! When you want to cosy down in bed with a larger than smartphone screen, grab the tablet and off you go. Then when you're done, it functions as a digital display / photoreel. The Google Tablet will be productive 24/7. If it's not being actively used, it's a dynamic photo frame/speaker. When it's being used, it's a large mobile screen display for all your entertainment needs!

Then you got the speaker dock which adds just enough volume and bass to really lift the sound quality of just the tablet. It's got enough oomph to fill out a room with decent quality sound.

Overall, this is probably the most productive piece of tech in awhile. It has multiple uses and is essentially working 24/7. Your usual tablet will sit idle when you're not using. Your Nest Hub will only ever sit idle. Your Google Tablet? It will be with you when you want it and doing other passive value adding things when you don't. It's great.

The Google Pixel Tablet is a great addition to the Google Ecosystem. I'm excited to see what comes after this.
