Is this a tablet, or a Chromebook?!

[Phases]

Our article implies it's a tablet. Our poll on Phandroid implies Chromebook.

I'll never be able to sleep!

Tablet, I win.

Is it running Android or Chrome OS?

The video in Google unveils new Pixel C, its first company-built tablet says it's Android 6.

If the keyboard was connected I'd have voted Chromebook.

From what I've read & seen it's a tablet with an optional keyboard.

I thought it was a camera something when I heard of Pixel

It's running Android Rob was incorrect in his phandroid poll and once I asked about it he realized it, so I'm no longer confused

Anyone gunna get one? I dunno, I currently don't have the need but, I like it...

Not for $500 + and an extra $150 for the keyboard.

It's priced at $500 for the 32GB model and $600 for the 64GB version, while the keyboard will go for $149. According to Google, it's expected to go on sale around the holidays.​

I don't need it, but I want it. It looks and sounds awesome!

That sums up the purpose of tablets in general. The one tablet I bought is going under someone's xmas tree pretty soon.

To keep it from falling over?

I would really have to see one of these Pixel things in operation to know if it's a laptablet ... or would that be a tabletop? More than a tab, less than a lap.

Thinking more on it... I'm not sure Android is really suited to a laptop-esque usage scenario. The lack of practical multitasking really kills it (in the bad way) for me. I just don't see the advantage of this over another tablet with a BT keyboard.

At least with the Asus Transformer series, the keyboards contained a second battery and a standard USB 2.0 port to add utilization. While this does sound great, I'm not sure it's $650/$750 great.

Meh, too expensive and not easily available here. Plus most of Google's services are blocked unless using a VPN, which might limit its use to me. Anyway, I recently bought a Windows tablet.

Google’s Pixel C may be the most premium Android tablet yet

The Pixel C lives up to its name — it looks like you chopped the keyboard off the Chromebook Pixel and installed Android on it.​
