The tech world is buzzing with Google’s latest move – the launch of a dock-less version of its Pixel Tablet. This new offering not only makes the device more affordable but also caters to a wider audience who may not find the dock necessary.

Last month, whispers of Google’s plan to relaunch its Pixel Tablet sans the speaker dock started making rounds. Today, those rumors have been confirmed, and it’s not just a confirmation – it’s a delightful surprise! Alongside the unexpected announcement of the Pixel 8a smartphone, Google has also unveiled the dock-less Pixel Tablet.

Previously, the Pixel Tablet, bundled with the dock, would set you back $499. But now, you can snag one without the dock for a cool $399. That’s for the 128GB storage version.

The best part? It comes with a significant price cut. Previously, the Pixel Tablet, bundled with the dock, would set you back $499. But now, you can snag one without the dock for a cool $399. That’s for the 128GB storage version. If you’re looking for more space and want to go for the 256GB version, it’s available for $499.

Now, if you’re a fan of the dock, this might not make much of a difference to you. But we’re willing to bet that many would happily pocket the $100 savings. And if you’re quick to order a dock-less Pixel Tablet today, Google promises it’ll be on your US doorstep starting May 14.

We’re left scratching our heads as to why Google took its sweet time to offer this dock-less option. But hey, better late than never, right? For our friends across the pond, the UK prices are £399 for 128GB and £519 for 256GB. In the EU, it’s €499 for 128GB and €619 for 256GB. And yes, these prices are still £100 / €100 less than the dock-included versions.

But let’s not forget, despite its dock-less nature, this is the same Pixel Tablet that’s been winning hearts since last June. It boasts a 10.95-inch 1600×2560 LCD touchscreen, the Tensor G2 chipset, 8GB of RAM, an 8 MP rear camera, an 8 MP front-facing camera, and a 7,020 mAh battery with support for 15W wired charging. So, are you ready to go dock-less?
