Google's Pixel Tablet relaunch at $399 makes its magnetic dock optional

Google has announced a price reduction for its 128GB Pixel Tablet, now available for preorder at $399, which is $100 less than its original price. To achieve this lower price, the magnetic Charging Speaker Dock, which transforms the tablet into a smart display, is now sold separately for $129. The tablet itself remains unchanged, featuring a Tensor G2 processor and 8GB of RAM. This announcement coincides with Apple's launch of new iPad models, positioning the Pixel Tablet as a competitor to the base iPad priced at $349.
