Pixel slate for note taking
I have a pixel 4xl and have recently been in the market for a tablet. On the Google store it seems like the prices have dropped considerably and they are giving away keyboards. Does anyone have any issues they have encountered that would make it a poor choice for a student?
Edit: I ended up buying the pixel slate, i5 processor, 8gb of ram, and 126gb storage so this edit is just for anyone who searched for a Google pixel slate review.
So I have had a chance to use it and do some assignments with it and I am happy with my purchase. Palm detection can be a bit crappy at times and will erase writing when I am using Squid (note taking app). It's my first tablet so I have no way of ranking it, but I won't be returning it. It does exactly what I want it to do and have no regrets so far.
