The Pixel Tablet is actually just a few spare parts in a half-empty body
arstechnica.com
Why is this $500 tablet full of so much empty space?

I am not sure where I land on this issue, I am not entirely sold that it should have been filled to the brim and packed tightly but it does seem like they could have done better either for repairability or at least having things like a headphone jack and maybe better speakers (I have read that speakers can do better with more hollow space without adding much weight but I’m not knowledgeable enough)

    A tablet is basically a smartphone with a bigger screen. Maybe a slightly bigger SSD and battery but that’s about it.

      Imo the battery should take up nearly all the free slace inside the device. Especially in a tablet considering the proportionally bigger screen.
