Google's Pixel C tablet is ready to take on the iPad Pro and Surface Pro 3

As if a new Nexus 5X, Nexus 6P and new Chromecast and Chromecast Audio weren't enough, Google also announced the Pixel C, a new Android-based tablet alongside a detachable keyboard.

The 10.2-inch tablet starts at $499 for a 42GB and $599 for a 64GB and comes with a 10.2-inch display with a 2,560 x 1,800 resolution. Positioned as an iPad Pro/Surface Pro 3 competitor, more or less, the Pixel C runs Android 6.0 Marshmallow and has a beefy NVIDIA X1 quad-core processor, Maxwell GPU and 3GB of RAM. Google says the architecture is desktop-class.
