Just posting the Verge’s review for now, but feel free to throw others in.

Gotta say, it is dumb as hell that the speaker can’t be a speaker on its own. So if I’m listening to music, I can’t pick up the tablet and move over to the couch without severing the audio connection. That is bananas. I’m sure it’s a cost thing, given it’d need a chip of its own, but ffs.

    Got mine today and I like it. It’s good. That’s about it. Just good. Nothing all that impressive or exciting about it.

    Their cost benefit analysis seems short-sighted. Having a chip wouldn’t be too expensive as even a Nest Mini has it. Just increase the price by $25 but provide that functionality imo.

    I really want this tablet to be successful, I’m an Apple user personally and I feel like Apple has just gotten lazy with the iPad because there’s no serious competition. Would love to see Google become a serious tablet contender.
