As excited as we were for the Galaxy, there is another device that we […]
We’re still a couple of months out from the release of what could be the most successful consumer-focused Chrome OS tablets ever made.

Not once have I ever stated that the Pixel Slate was a bad device. As a matter of fact, it is an amazing and inspiring piece of hardware that is capable of running Chrome OS as well as just about any Chromebook.
