Google is desperate to sell Pixel Tablets, pushing ads via notifications
Have you received the “Meet the Google Pixel Tablet” notification already?
I found this, I'm wanting to get a pixel tablet in about a week or so. Title just got me wondering a bit, though it's probably just a little bit sensationalized
You're viewing a single thread.
All the bad press about school and local governments across the country complaining that their Pixel Tablets bought during the pandemic are not running out of supported update lifecycle, and will be considered bricks, wasting Billions of dollars, have got to have Google shitting bricks themselves. Literal own goal in the pursuit of greed.
Um....
These just came out like 2 months ago. Are you talking about the old nexus 7, which is 11 years old? Or maybe the most recent releases in 2014?
Anybody who bought one of those in 2020 was a moron and deserved to have them die "unexpectedly".
They are referring to Chromebooks, which have a published end of life cycle because the OS is built around specific boards and then rebranded around those features to partners.
Very different beast than the Android-based Pixel Tablet.
Ahhhh, I see. Thanks for handing me a clue!
What press? A competent school district would expect to operate the hardware for 2 or 3 years at most. And those tablets were nothing more than $200 Chromebooks with a touchscreen. Compared to textbook pricing they came out ahead.
