It's not quite perfect, mind, as productivity does see some barriers presented by the Android platform (no split screen, for example), but its suitability very much depends on what you're looking to do.

At first blush, the Pixel C looks like any other 10.2-inch, brushed-metal Android tablet. But then you snap it into the magnetic-hinged Bluetooth keyboard, which offers a rotation angle of up to 135 agrees.

I only wrote a few hundred words on the Pixel C, but it felt more like a traditional keyboard. I made fewer mistakes and the tips of my fingers didn't get numb. (I hit the keys pretty hard.) That's a good sign.

It’s closer to square than you might be used to in a tablet, and it also happens to be ideal for viewing the web, which is where Google hopes you’ll be spending the bulk of your time.

The device's screen is comparable to a standard sheet of A4 paper--which, without getting too technical, means you could split it in half and maintain the same aspect ratio on both sides.

The big show is the keyboard, which Google is rather proud of. And in some ways, Google deserves to be proud. It's a Bluetooth keyboard, but it's perfectly sized to the Pixel tablet and has the same high-quality metal shell.

Google stressed that there are no exposed screws or weird seams in the casing. This is designed to be an ultra-premium piece of hardware, a pleasant change from last year’s disappointing HTC-built Nexus 9 tablet.

With 3GB of RAM and a quad-core processor, the Pixel has more than enough horsepower to multitask; it just lacks the software. Stock Android doesn’t allow you to place apps side by side, the way Windows 10 and iOS 9 do.

The Pixel C really makes a name for itself when it comes to the battery life, though. It scores higher in our tests than any other tablet. There's no real mystery as to why: the iPad Air 2 has a 7,340mAh battery, while the similarly sized Pixel C has a massive 9,000mAh battery.

Google has decided to make their keyboard accessory out of the same aluminum as the tablet's chassis. This means that there really aren't any compromises as far as key feeling, size, and travel distance are concerned.

And then there's what I consider to be the standout feature: a near full-size Qwerty style physical keyboard that transforms Pixel C into a slate off which you can get some meaningful work done. In terms of design, it’s the finest implementation I’ve seen yet of combining a physical keyboard on a convertible tablet.
