Verdict

The Google Pixel Slate Intel Celeron edition is a 12.3-inch Chrome OS tablet featuring a high-resolution 3000 x 2000 'Molecular Display' with 293 ppi and an anodised aluminium body. This specific configuration includes an Intel Celeron 3965Y processor, 8GB of RAM, and 64GB of eMMC storage, supported by a 48Wh battery providing up to 10–12 hours of use. Main characteristics include dual front-firing speakers, a fingerprint sensor integrated into the power button, and two USB-C ports for charging and 4K display output. Pros include its premium build quality, exceptional screen clarity, and loud, clear audio performance. However, notable cons include sluggish performance under heavy multitasking due to the entry-level Celeron chip, the lack of a built-in headphone jack, and the fact that essential accessories like the keyboard and stylus are sold separately.
