Other Tablets to ConsiderPhotograph: Nena FarrellGoogle Pixel Tablet for $399: Google has a spotty history with Android tablets, going from the highs of the Nexus 7 to the, well, distinct averageness of the Pixel Tablet (7/10, WIRED Recommends). What makes it special is the Speaker Dock, which turns the Pixel Tablet into a big smart home display. The Charging Dock’s speaker is loud and sounds excellent, and the Pixel Tablet’s microphones and large screen make using Gemini so easy. Ikea's tablet stand is suitably minimalist, works for any brand of tablet, and at $15, it’s an excellent value too. You don’t have to install special software; it’s compatible with a tablet’s screen rather than particular apps, and even comes in two sizes to make it suitable for different hand sizes.
