Want a new Nest display but leery of buying years-old hardware? Well, Google’s new Pixel Tablet comes with a magnetic dock that turns the sleek tablet into a smart display, and it’s 20% off for Cyber Monday.
Available now for $398.99 on Amazon—roughly $100 off its usual $499 list price—the Google Pixel Tablet came out earlier this year, and it’s Google’s most powerful tablet yet, complete with a 10.95-inch 2,560 x 1,600-pixel display, four built-in speakers, and a turbocharged Tensor G2 chip. The Android-powered Pixel Tablet will let you install just about any app on the Google Play store.
Even better, the Pixel Tablet comes bundled with a handsome, fabric-covered dock. Snap the Pixel Tablet onto the magnetic dock, and the tablet turns into a smart display, complete with smart home controls, hands-free Google Assistant access, and the ability to display your favorite snapshots from Google Photos. The dock also has an integrated full-range speaker for playing tunes from Spotify and other streaming services.
Pretty nice, but this Cyber Monday deal on the Google Pixel Tablet won’t last much longer, so don’t wait too long.
