We've seen a flurry of Google Pixel Slate deals over the past week as the tech giant works to reduce the price of its two-in-one tablet offering. It seems to have worked, and you can now pick up a Google Pixel Slate tablet with a free keyboard (worth $199) and pen stylus (worth $99) for under $500.
The tablet in question is the smallest on offer - with 64GB storage and 8GB RAM under the hood. But, as this is Google, this will be a largely browser-based affair, meaning you can use the cloud for most of your workload to keep things light. As it stands, this is an excellent Google Pixel Slate sale, and well worth it if you're looking for a cheap tablet for flexible work on the go.
These Google Pixel Slate deals offer surprisingly strong value considering the tablet's turbulent launch, especially compared to competing Surface Pro 7 models. That said, there are some extra Surface Pro 7 deals on offer this week if you're looking for something with a bit more power. This $599 offering can save you plenty on an i3 model with a 128GB SSD, 8GB RAM, and a keyboard included. You'll find more Surface Pro 7 deals further down the page.
That's an excellent proposition and a response to previous consumer frustration over the strangely high price of the Google Pixel Slate. Throwing that tidy price drop and free accessories into the mix, the Pixel Slate finally holds its own against competitors in terms of power for your cash.

The Google Pixel Slate offers a gorgeous 12.3-inch Molecular Display boasting a 3000 x 2000 resolution and 293ppi - slightly higher than that of the competing Surface Pro 7 and much higher than that of the iPad Pro. That screen sits in a 7mm thin shell with dual front-firing speakers to boost the audio of your games, movies, and shows.
We'd certainly take advantage of this Google Pixel Slate deal if you're looking for a versatile 2-in-1 laptop with a blindingly impressive screen. While initial concerns about value over the suped-up Chromebook may have put many off, the recent price drop and added extras you're picking up here make for an excellent deal.
