Google's got a gorgeous new tablet that becomes a full laptop - it's named 'Pixel Slate'

Google

• Google unveiled the Pixel Slate on Tuesday morning: A tablet that also acts as a laptop, running Chrome OS.
• The tablet is intended to compete with Microsoft's Surface Pro, and Apple's iPad Pro.
• To that end, the Pixel Slate can be easily attached to the Pixel Slate Keyboard (sold separately) and used with a digital stylus.

Google has a brand new tablet: The Pixel Slate was introduced during a press event in New York City on Tuesday morning.

It's a new "convertible" device, which is to say that it can be used as a tablet, or as a laptop, or as a digital sketchpad. Through a keyboard - the Pixel Slate Keyboard - and a new digital stylus, the Pixel Slate takes on new forms.

Here's the Pixel Slate with the new stylus.

Since the device is made by Google, it's running Google's operating system: Chrome OS. That's an important distinction, as this isn't an Android tablet.

Instead, the Pixel Slate is more of a Chromebook than anything else - designed to run Chrome-native software, including Google's suite (Docs, Calendar, etc.) and a broad variety of third-party applications.
