Google's got a gorgeous new tablet that becomes a full laptop — it's named 'Pixel Slate'
At a New York City event on Tuesday, Google announced the Pixel Slate. It's a new tablet that becomes a laptop, and it runs on Google's Chrome OS.
Google has a brand new tablet: The Pixel Slate was introduced during a press event in New York City on Tuesday morning.
It's a new "convertible" device, which is to say that it can be used as a tablet, or as a laptop, or as a digital sketchpad. Through a keyboard — the Pixel Slate Keyboard — and a new digital stylus, the Pixel Slate takes on new forms.
Since the device is made by Google, it's running Google's operating system: Chrome OS. That's an important distinction, as this isn't an Android tablet.
