We (people in SlickDeals) make decisions like that one left and right. I don't see anything wrong with stating why I'm abstaining from purchasing a product listed on sale. I hope that other buyers that may be more familiar with a product would do the same for me.
You neither understand why it would (and should) cost more for features you claim are must haves, nor would you buy it even if it did have these features.
This is precisely why they didn't include this feature.
the first Nexus 7 shipped Android 4.1 (Jelly Bean) and eventually got Android 5.1.1 (Lollipop). That was two major release upgrades (JB, KitKat, and Lollipop)
The second gen Nexus 7 started with 4.3 Jelly Bean and then made it all the way to 6.0.1 Marshmallow (JB, Kitkat, Lollipop, Marshmallow) -- 3 gen of upgrades.
Better CPU/GPU in Pixel Tablet, and much better device security updates on the horizon while the Tab S7 is winding down on its support cycle. If the Pixel was $250 I'd probably bite. I love the concept, I just think it's overpriced for what you get. Considering I was able to snag an S7 about a year and a half ago at $175 I just can't justify steeping "up" to this when there are things that are arguably worse than what I already have.

You can see from these benchmarks that the G2 beats some of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 SoC's in sustained GPU stress tests. It's not the best out there for sure, but it is a step up from the 865.
Now all that said, my S7 is incredible and I don't intend to move on from it until I see a significant performance jump. We're probably already there with the SD 8 Gen 2 chips, but I'm holding out until whatever the next iteration of Samsung's Tab series is. I expect that's when I'll make the change. I just like the concept of the Pixel Tablet. If they make a second generation version of it I expect it could be quite good though I think they might bail on the line.
If you are planning to use it as a home hub, you will be surprisingly disappointed. I was expecting that when it is docked, it turns into a home hub, it doesn't. Only when the screen locks, does it go into hub mode. Some items like starting a stopwatch run like it would on a tablet and stop showing up on the screen. The brightness is also way too low for me, and unlike the home hub where you can increase the brightness offset, this has no adjustment. I have nest doorbells and this does not show live feed when there's a ring.
I understand these are all software issues and they can update the product to add these features, but this product seems like a half baked item.
The magnet is a no-brainer and I can't believe no one has thought of it yet. I can't wait to see Apple steal this idea in 3-4 years and all of the kool-aid drinkers call it revolutionary when it hits the iPad.
