Amazon's back-to-school sale has some fantastic bargains on our favorite tablets. One deal I wholeheartedly recommend is the Google Pixel Tablet with Charging Speaker Dock for $399. It typically costs $499, so that's $100 off and just $20 shy of its record-low price. This is one of the best back-to-school deals of the season. 

If you're in the market for a versatile device for both the classroom and the dorm room, the Pixel Tablet with Charging Speaker Dock is worth considering. In our review of Google's latest flagship tablet, we found its stylish design, zippy performance,  audio output, and battery life impressive. We gave it an overall rating of 4 out 5-stars and our Editor's Choice Award. 

I bought the standalone Pixel Tablet three months and I've been obsessed with it ever since. I primarily use it to watch my favorite South African TV series on Showmax, a streaming app that isn't compatible with my TV. When casting to my big screen, playback is smooth and the picture quality is superb. The Pixel Tablet also runs my favorite mobile games with no lag, from the colorful spinning slots on Big Fish Casino to the fast-flying kicks and swift punches in Street Fighter IV CE

Given that the Pixel Tablet in this deal ships with a Charging Wireless Speaker Dock, you can do more with it. When attached to the dock, you can play room-filling music, use it to control smart devices or pull up recipes on YouTube

At $100 off, the Pixel Tablet is a wise choice if you want a versatile tablet that does double duty as a smart display.
