It's easy to default to iPads and Samsung Galaxy Tabs when purchasing a new tablet, but believe it or not, there are other devices worth considering. Take the Google Pixel Tabletfor example, which is for sale in Amazon and Best Buy in the 256GB configuration for $449 ($150 off), an all-time low for the highest storage model. In fact, the current discount makes the larger model cheaper than the $499.99 base model.
The Pixel tablet's 11-inch 16:10 display isn't as comfortable as a 4:3 device for reading or browsing, but it works very well as a multimedia consumption device, especially when you connect it to the fabric-wrapped speaker dock that comes. with the tablet. The included speaker dock sounds pretty good, and playback will automatically resume through the tablet's four speakers when it's removed. And while it's not as robust as a proper smart home hub, it provides one-touch access to basic smart home controls and other quick settings. It also holds the tablet at an ideal angle for video calls with its 8-megapixel 1080p front camera.
There's not much else to the Pixel tablet. It uses Google's Tensor G2 chip that is optimized to run Android at its best. Games, apps, browsing and multimedia are seamless experiences. It's a little hot, though, and Android still doesn't feel as suited to these big slates as iPadOS does. You can run apps in split-screen mode, and the apps designed specifically for tablets are very good, but that catalog is still small compared to the competition. It's just a good mid-range tablet, but that may be all some of you need. Read our review.
I'm a simple guy: I watch Sonic, I zoom. There aren't many other platform games that give you the same feeling of speed. Fortunately, you can take control of the beloved blue hedgehog in more than a dozen games with sonic origins more, a classic collection that costs around $20 ($20 off) at Game stop and Walmart for Xbox One, Xbox Series X and PlayStation 5.
Sonic Plus Origins Includes four remastered classic titles, specifically the original. Sonic the Hedgehog, sonic 2, Sonic 3 and knucklesand sonic cd — and you can play as Sonic, Knuckles, Tails, Amy and other characters, depending on the game. The extensive collection also has 12 Sonic games that were released for the Sega Game Gear (which you may not know about because most of us played the Game Boy back then). Purists can stick to the games' original resolution with limited lives, but you can also activate a widescreen HD mode with unlimited lives, allowing you to practice your speedrunning technique without worrying about losing your rings. The games also feature new stages, missions, modes and music.
