In short: Google is expected to announce the Pixel Slate at its hardware event on Tuesday, but according to this latest leak, there's going to be very little for Google to actually announce about the Pixel Slate, come Tuesday. This leaks shows us the Pixel Slate, which looks like a tablet running on Chrome OS. It's pretty big when it comes down to the tablet. It also has stereo speakers, a USB-C port, detachable keyboard and it will come with a stylus this year. Likely an upgrade to the PenelBook Pen that debuted last year.
The display here is going to be a 3: 2 aspect ratio, so that it will match up with the Pixel-branded Chromebooks from the past few years. The tablet also has a blue casing, which looks like it could be made of a soft-touch plastic instead of a metal or glass. That will actually be a good thing as you will be able to hold onto the tablet. On the back, with a Google logo on the left-hand corner (when in portrait, in a landscape, the camera is on the right side and the logo in the upper left-hand corner).
background: Google has flirted with making Chrome-based tablets in the past, in fact the Pixel C was originally meant to be a Chrome-based tablet, but Google was not able to get it to work the Nexus 5X and Nexus 6P. The Pixel Slate here, is supposedly being built by HP, who knows a thing or two about making "Slates".
Impact: The Pixel Slate is not going to be something for everyone. Not everyone is going to want a tablet running on Chrome. But, it will be better than an Android-based tablet, see you have seen recently. With Chrome OS built-in, you'll get better web browsing, but also you can use Twitter, Facebook and any of your favorite games. Keep in mind that the Pixel Slate should still be taken with a grain of salt, and you'll want to tune into Google's hardware event on Tuesday, October 9 for more.
