The CPU on this tablet is the same underpowered processor on the pixel 7 and already felt outdated when it was released
Not everyone can drop a grand on a cell phone, another grand on an iPad..
And chasing that, well you can always get the processor that's in the newest yada yada yada for $250-$300 plus, is going down a rabbit hole.
I mean if you have to play video games on your tablet, your phone, yeah, go for the most expensive, these companies are happy to take your money, in 6 months you will be trying to fill that rabbit hole, chasing that new processor.

There isn't much a base level iPad does that this can't, and you miss out all of the Android specific benefits like better third party media apps, all your play store media being available, and some ecosystem stuff like notification sync. This price is a bit high sure, and the OS support is a bit short (they extended Pixel 6/7 so maybe this too?) but it's not a bad buy for $250 if you prefer Android as a massive upgrade over an A9+ under $200.
To be honest the best price for this was one year ago for $100 with iPad 6th gen trade in which smashes literally every other tablet in terms of value...it's still good here but not amazing. Same with the A9+ which is $20 from Metro and you could get an iPhone 13 for $75.
There might be faster or bigger tablets, but I've never had a use for tablets (outside of reading Kindle books) until the Pixel Tablet and its paired speaker dock. It breaks my heart that there won't be a Pixel Tablet 2, because this thing is just brilliant.

People who are upvoting this at $250 are idiots who don't own one already.
It has pretty good battery life, and the stand on the OEM case works very well. The speaker dock/charger thing is pretty awesome. It's a pretty good piece of hardware in my opinion. My house is in the Googlesphere, so it's useful to cast stuff from -- and to (when docked) -- and I use it as a little tv since we also have Youtube TV and use Plex a lot.
But man. The third party app development SUCKS. If you want to browse the web, or use your streaming apps, you're golden. But silly things -- like the app for my Vtech baby monitor -- are "not compatible" with this tablet (but ARE compatible with a tablet-based virtual machine???). How handy would it be to use a docked tablet as a baby monitor screen? Very handy. Works great on my phone though. Several other apps are just scaled up versions of their phone counterparts -- which ironically would be just fine with me for the baby monitor app since I run the video fullscreen, but ... here we are.
I'm also a Lego dork, and it works really good for the Powered Up and Builder app for instructions. However, because of the fixed length lens on the camera, its near impossible to scan the QR codes on the instruction manuals. I'm not sure who to blame for this -- Lego with their tiny, poor contrast QR code prints, or Google with their inability to focus on anything less than 8 feet away with the camera.
I have a feeling that Google is getting out of the tablet game once again, and I can't blame them, but then also ... I can.
Also, I believe this is the BEST VALUE tablet deal right now and I recommend over Samsung's A9+ deal for $150ish.
I will add that I bet your baby app did not work because it can not run on Android 16.
And google stated that they are getting out of the tablet game for the next few years... the problem was the PRICE they wanted for the specs that they are.
Basically the google tablet is a solid mid grade tablet... but they want how much??? with the doc. And that is the issue. Even if it had a OLED screen, I bet their sales would have doubled.

The screen is IPS panel (unlike Samsung's A9+ which is TFT). It can do 500nits, so that is better then the low end tablets that can do between 300 - 400nits. And the CPU is the G2. Both the screen and chipset are NOT average, they are both above average.
And updates will be the best of any tablet out their.
And I always use a droop proof foam case, this helps to hold the tablet.
