2015-09-29
now pics we'll see where the C stands for convertible is an entirely new approach to combining a tablet and a keyboard closed they're held together with self-aligning magnets but when you're ready to get down to work slide the tablet off touch it to the back of the keyboard and lift the tablet attaches magnetically and the screen is fully adjustable between 100 and 135 degrees I can hold it by the tablet I can hold it by the keyboard I can hold it upside down the screen size is 10.2 inches with a square root of two aspect ratio now that's a metric area ratio that's used by a series paper of which a4 is the standard letter format throughout much the world and what this means is this life will use in either portrait or landscape orientations while at the same time giving us enough room for a full-size keyboard so with the pics we'll see the keyboard attaches to the back of the tablet securely so that's out of the way but close by and unlike Bluetooth accessories the pixel see knows when to use the physical keyboard and when to use the on-screen keyboard so I can enter in here on the screen but then if I want to do more extensive typing the keyboards there for me now it is a bluetooth keyboard it has a small battery but you'll never have to charge it either when closed the tablet inductively charges the pixel sees keyboard just a few minutes a day closed will keep the battery topped up and if you don't close it for a while don't worry the keyboard would last for over two months of daily active usage without ever recharging the pixel sees display lives up to its name with three hundred and eight pixels per inch that's 4.6 million pixels if you're keeping count it's super bright at 500 nits and has amazing srgb color gamut all of this while keeping the power low enough for great battery life on a tablet driving all of those pixels is an nvidia x1 quad-core processor with a desktop class maxwell GPU so to enable far-field voice input we've added four microphones so now you can have voice interactions from across the room of course the tablet charges with USB type-c and one of my favorite features for a quick check of battery life double tap on the light bar the pics we'll see will be available in time for the holidays on the Google store starting at 499 for the tablet and 149 for the keyboard
