Google did a magnificent job building the Pixel C from a hardware perspective, but that’s only half the battle with smart devices. In a sea of aluminum devices that are bright and shiny, the look of Pixel C is muted in all the right ways. The darker grey, perhaps you’d call it gunmetal or graphite, in particular is striking. It’s aluminum build screams premium, bringing Android tablets to the same level as the iPad after spending much of their existence being considered inferior in build quality. Both in design and build quality, the Pixel C is magnificent. The biggest asset of the Pixel C is, without a doubt, its hardware. It’s clear tech companies, and the biggest among them, no longer see the hybrid tablet device as a niche, but a significant player in the future of mobile computing. That points to the importance of the form factor. Rather than partnering with a hardware manufacturer, like it did with HTC for the Nexus 9 and Asus for the Nexus 7, Google chose to go it alone, and it selected a hybrid tablet for its first solo mission. There are several aspects of the Pixel C that are fascinating, but the most interesting is that it’s the first tablet designed and built entirely by Google.
