The Pixel Slate ran the 5,000 fish round of the WebGL Aquarium simulation -- which renders hundreds to thousands of animated fish -- at about 28 frames per second. Sometimes I'd have to manually re-pair the connection, and once, the connection fixed itself after a moment.
The Slate runs the latest version of Chrome OS, which continues Google’s ongoing effort to combine its desktop software with Android. The snap-on magnetic docking system lets you set the device at any angle, rather than limiting you to only a few as the iPad Pro does. The only issue is its high upfront cost, which puts it in the same space as the more developed Surface Pro and iPad Pro. Even then, I saw stutter and clipping, and the game ran in a pixelated mode that didn't look that great. You connect the Pixel Slate to the Pixel Slate Keyboard using the company's proprietary Pogo port, found on its bottom edge.
Streaming video on Netflix, with the screen at 150 nits (indoors), the Slate lost an average of 11-13% of its charge per hour.

This is a big step up on the iPad Pro keyboard cover, which is cramped, no matter how you look at it. The slim, 7mm-thick tablet section comes in a deep midnight blue colouring and has slightly rounded edges, plus a 2. As I watched a remastered version of the 1977 film Suspiria on the Pixel Slate, I noticed excellent reproduction of the shining gold that adorns the dance academy's facade and the intense red that floods across Suzy Bannion throughout the film, as well as strong verdant greens for the ferns in the school's lobby. Charging time requires the battery to be at least 5% charged, the device to be inactive and use of included charger.The size and dimensions are large and sharp enough to make movie-watching and multiple window office work comfortable on the device. The “great for regular people, not so hot for creatives” trend continues with the Pixel Slate’s software. Not only does this slate pack one more than the new iPad Pros, these actually support external storage (the iPad Pro doesn't), so the Pixel Slate can actually fit into a modern working environment, rather than just rely on cloud storage.

The same is true of the full-sized trackpad, which over the past week has enacted all my commands, including multi-touch, without any problems.
Google Assistant remains a key selling point; it’s step above Microsoft’s Cortana and Apple’s Siri in nearly every way. It also responds to swipe-up gestures from the bottom and top, with the former opening the app shelf and the latter showing all open apps and enabling split-screen apps (but only when you're in tablet mode). While the iPad Pro can do a lot of that of those, it doesn't support generic external storage, which leaves everyone with external drives in the cold.
Great Deal
