Google Pixel Slate: The top features, specs, and highlights

The Google Pixel Slate isn't the first Chrome tablet, but it's setting new standards for what a Chrome tablet can be. Announced Tuesday at Google's Made By Google Launch event in New York, the Pixel Slate "isn't a laptop trying to be a tablet," said Google's Trond Wuellner, "or a tablet that's really a phone pretending to be a computer." The Pixel Slate shows how Google's trying to evolve Chrome OS from its original desktop aspirations. The Pixel Slate brings together touch, pen, and voice input in a compact, versatile form factor. The Pixel Slate also looks as gorgeous as an Apple iPad or a Samsung Galaxy Tab S. We've highlighted below the important specs and most intriguing new features that we know so far.
