flI used the Pixel Tablet as my smart home display for two months. Here's what I learned


Compared to stationary displays like the Nest and Echo Hub, here's how the Google Pixel Tablet does things better (and worse).

The 11-inch tablet runs Android 13 on Google's Tensor G2 chip, with solid performance and small bezels surrounding the screen that can handle multitasking and comes with a charging dock. Google didn't design this tablet to be the next iPad Pro, capable of handling intense video editing sessions and being an occasional replacement for your laptop. But -- unlike my Echo devices -- the Pixel Tablet couldn't understand me in our open floorplan first floor when I was in the kitchen, which suggests that it would work best in a bedroom or smaller living room.
