Google has created two very successful operating systems for portable devices: The Chrome OS, designed for Chromebooks, and the ubiquitous Android for tablets and smartphones.
Over the years it has gradually tried to mesh the two together by creating laptop/tablet hybrids, like the Google Pixel Slate.
This 2-in-1 device boasts the mobility of a tablet and the wider functionality of a laptop, wrapped in a premium package that’s meant to compete with Apple’s iPad Pro and Microsoft’s Surface Pro.
And if you order now you have a chance to get $50 off instantly via the Amazon Rewards Visa card, which brings the price down even further, to $499.
It doesn’t have the slick two-toned look of the Pixelbook or the Pixel 3 smartphone, but it still has an impressive look.
Furthermore, the rounded edges are easy to grab and the large bezels (while ugly) offer a better grip if you’re using it one-handed.
