Google’s Pixel Tablet is up to $170 off ahead of Labor Day weekend

As we approach the end of August, early Labor Day deals have begun to appear, offering you a chance to save on speakers, noise-canceling headphones, TVs, and outdoor gear.

Now we can add Google’s 128GB Pixel Tablet to the list, which is down to $249 ($150 off) at Amazon, Best Buy, and the Google Store, matching its best price to date. If you want a bit more storage, the 256GB model is also available from Best Buy and Google for a cool $329 ($170 off).

Google’s latest slate (and, possibly, it’s last for a while) is tailor-made for kicking back with movies, YouTube, or a round of games. Its 11-inch LCD display is crisp and vibrant, while the 16:10 aspect ratio makes it ideal for consuming widescreen content. If your main goal is to relax and enjoy your favorite shows or apps, the screen won’t let you down, even if the battery life is not as impressive as what you might get from an iPad or similarly-sized Android tablets. The built-in speakers just add to the experience, delivering clear audio and noticeable stereo separation.

Sadly, the current promo doesn’t include Google’s optional speaker dock, which remains a worthwhile addition that you can still purchase from the Google Store for $129. The price of the dock is still worth it in our opinion, as it essentially transforms the tablet into a Nest Hub-esque device. Once connected to the charging dock via magnets, you can easily control smart home devices and crank up the volume of whatever it is you’re listening to, whether it’s podcasts or music.

Google recently introduced its Pixel 10 phone lineup and the new Pixel Watch 4, and notably absent was any sort of Pixel Tablet successor. As stated earlier, Google may be abandoning the category… again. If that’s the case, this might be one of your last opportunities to save on the tablet. Just keep in mind that Google is only promising an additional year or so of software updates, as well as three more years of security updates.

• Housemarque’s Returnal is on sale at Best Buy for $29.99 ($40 off), its lowest price to date. The atmospheric shooter is a great showcase for the PlayStation 5’s power, and one that makes great use of Sony’s DualSense controller. It combines roguelike mechanics and bullet hell gameplay, trapping players in a time loop as an astronaut exploring a mysterious alien planet. While its difficult, looping structure makes it an acquired taste, it delivers an experience you won’t want to miss — especially at this price.
• The Twelve South Butterfly SE is currently down to $44.99 ($55 off) in pink at Woot, which is just a few bucks more than its best price to date. The travel-friendly Qi2 charger features a 2-in-1 design with two soft-touch pads connected by a flexible strap; one pad delivers up to 15W for your phone, and the other provides up to 5W for your smartwatch. Since the foldable charger supports Qi2, it should also be compatible with Google’s upcoming Pixel 10 lineup.
• If you missed out on the discount on the AirPods 4 during Amazon’s July Prime Day event, today is your lucky day, as the deal’s back.
