Mixed reviews are quite common for products that are not yet well-tested in the market. A few critics do not necessarily represent the vast demographic of consumers but they do provide a glimpse to the merits and demerits of products. Hence, the opinions of critics can easily influence the decisions of consumers. The Google Pixel C Tablet is no exception.

After the Google Pixel Tablet was recently released in the market, it already received several critical reviews. Some commentators say that the hardware is good but the software could do better. The tablet is the first ever Android tablet built in-house by Google. It is also the first and only smart electronic device so far that features the Tegra X1, which is Nvidia's latest Maxwell-based Tegra SoC.

Consumers might have expectations for the Google Pixel Tablet considering its several software integrations but some reviews are not very positive about the software aspect. One criticism about the software aspect is that the tablet can only display one application at a time. This is a bit odd for a tablet that has a relatively wide screen at 10.2 inches.

No one seems particularly happy with the Pixel C's software. Google built a 10.2-inch panel that can only display one application at a time. Pixel C runs Marshmallow, it makes no attempt to field applications that are actually designed for a large-screen tablet. As a result, most apps waste huge amounts of screen space displaying stretched phone apps rather than native Pixel C apps. Other writers have noted that the software applications of the tablet is more appropriate for smartphones.
