Ngl, the Pixel Tablet bundled with the speaker (which I really don't care for) feels like Xbox One with the Kinect.
I think the speaker stand is a good product for the google nest users out there, but it should have maybe been a separate option or something.
I think it'd be nice if they offered an option without the base for $400 especially since the hub experience on it as it is currently isn't very good. All hub mode does currently is turn it into a glorified digital picture frame with the home controls button in the bottom corner and the Google Home experience isn't as good as a Nest Hub.
As it is right now, I wouldn't consider the Pixel Tablet as a replacement for the Nest Hub.
Agreed. It seems like the "Hub" mode is just a fancy screensaver which is a placeholder for something more.
I do like the tablet but the "hub mode" is nothing more than a fancy charger with a speaker. I have to keep a Nest Mini next to it for my smart home things to work in that room when I take the tablet to another part of the house.
I'm personally hoping that you can use the hub mode with custom screensavers. Then I think that might actually be useful to me
