The last time I bought an ipad (and it was the last time ever) I paid $AU1300. The pixel tablet is $AU900 here, and if all my apps on the pixel phone work as well it would a great addition. It could easily replace my windows laptop.
The only problem I see is the Aurora Store. I'd like to see that fixed before I buy another device with Graphene OS (which is really fantastic)

I don't think the price is that high compared with an iPad with equivalent memory.

MineralWater I don't think like you at all. You compare it to an iPad, but an ipade is not sold with a dock that makes a speaker. What's more, with equivalent memory and power, it's the same price at Apple, and the pixel tablet is even cheaper if you take out the price of the dock. Google isn't going to abandon the picole tablet, since it will eventually replace the nest tablet.

I haven't played with Pixel Tablet yet and I don't expect it to be a full replacement for iPad. That said, it's amazing to be able to use a larger screen while enjoying the security of GrapheneOS. To me it's a huge deal 🌷
Does anyone know if the tablet can be charged with a USB or USBC cable as well as the dock? I wouldn't fancy carting the speaker around to charge it when on the road or away from home.

Gray Put the dock in a bag...

Gray yes you can charge it via USB C, lots of reviews stated it, here's one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QKje_cSknNQ&t=188

Any news when GOS will be released for this tablet?
Bobby123 Any news when GOS will be released for this tablet?
Looks like the first release was June 23: https://grapheneos.org/releases#2023062300
Bobby123 It is supported, as de0u says, see https://grapheneos.org/faq#supported-devices
Great work. Thank you
Well I've been using the Tablet for six weeks now and I love it. I also purchased the case / cover which is brilliantly designed, far more sturdy and functional than anything Apple ever made (and I've used everything Apple made). there are a couple of annoying bugs and some apps don't make full use of the screen, but that will come in time. The battery is good, the dock very useful although sound quality is not a lot better than the four built in speakers on the tablet - which are very good.
For me it was worth every penny, there is not much I did on the ipad that I cannot do on the Pixel Tablet, and Graphene OS works well.
With Google abandoning the Tablet—AGAIN—any future tablet options for GrapheneOS at all possible?

That's not confirmed.

There will almost certainly be more tablets in the future.
