  • The insides of the Pixel Tablet are surprisingly spacious.
  • The component layout looks amateurish and shows that Google could have done so much more with the slate but chose not to.
  • There’s enough space inside the Pixel Tablet for a bigger battery, better speakers, a headphone jack, expandable storage, and so much more.

iFixit recently posted a repair guide for Google’s Pixel Tablet, revealing what’s on the inside, or shall we say, what’s NOT on the inside. First spotted and written about by ArsTechnica, the surprising emptiness of the Pixel Tablet goes against all principles of modern component assembly. It seems Google has failed to smartly utilize the space inside the tablet, with oodles of free plastic base stretching across the device.
