Google Pixel Slate. Possible Replacement?

[jayhawkX]

Have any Samsung NotePro 12 (Any Iteration) users bought, played, used, and/or tried the newest possible NotePro replacement moniker'd "Google Pixel Slate"?

It appears that it may be the first possible replacement for our forgotten powerhouse tablet...

...At least, a replacement that doesn't have a piece of fruit tramp stamped on its backside...

...Although, that wasn't exactly a true option for most of us...

...What say you?

I don't see any pen there. Gotta have a pen.

I am still deeply impressed with the Samsung 12.2 Pro (P900 wifi) I have. Got it used a few years back for 300 bucks. Grabbed a used Logitech tablet and keyboard for it. Though I have an old but good Macbook pro 2010, a Dell Latitude 2011, a Lenovo T420S, and a few other odds and ends, for sheer using pleasure when surfing or even editing the Samsung wins.

But you are right. If I had a bit more money to play with, this baby does look like a worthy successor. Maybe in a few years when the shine wears off a bit and the price goes down.... that's how I roll.

Since my tablet met its horrible, but accidental, end I've been tabletless and searching for a new new or an new old tablet. I still have not figured out what to do. Buy the Google Slate or find a used 12.2. They can be had for about $200 locally. Humm... I need to find a place that has a demo. Any Google stores in Kansas? ?

That's rhetorical, I'll search...

Thank you for the input tho. I do still have the same Logitech keyboard/cover as you perchanced. So that might end up as a factor.

Any other feedback, especially on note taking? @acadoid: do you know if LectureNotes works on it?

Found this feedback on LectureNotes on Pixel Slate: https://support.google.com/pixelslate/thread/869548?hl=en ; quoting: "LectureNotes run as slow as molasses to be unusable." As far as I understand, to make things nice and smooth on the Slate, the app has to use a different, low-level API. @acadoid, any plans to support the Slate?
