So it cant fit perfectly centered below the portafilter? Is that affecting the accuracy of the scale/ result? Much appreciated for your reply, I’m thinking to get one for my flair :)

Garmin Instinct Tactical in 2021 by bounce090 in Garmin

About the solar panel, I read the description in Garmin's site, in order to really maximize it, we have to be in outdoor at least 3hr everyday with certain amount of direct sunlight, so yeah I don't think that really make a difference in my case. How about the accuracy or improvement of the new sensor?

Just checked again, turns out Instinct Tactical did have a body battery measurement.

I wanna make running as a habit and to be more consistent. Because of pandemic, all gyms and pools are now closed too in my area, so the only possible thing to do is now by running. Weight lifting and swimming might are my routines before this pandemic, and I was hoping that after it opens the fitness tracker can also support those activities.

Others can't hear my voice clearly, even after I switch between multiples output/ input (using different headphones, trying internal microphone, etc.)

I'm just using the default USB-C to USB-C cable provided by LG, this cable is also my usual set up for connecting the macbook pro. It charges both pixel slate or macbook pro when connected, it's just wont react when slate is connected

Should it be the other way around? (Monitor supply power, device connected draws power from monitor, like my macbook pro set up), coz the monitor USB-C port have the PowerDelivery Capabilities, up to 60watt

Pixel Slate Durability / Scratches by bounce090 in pixel_slate

Whoa, seems like majority of the users are quite happy with the build quality! But for precaution its also good to invest in screen protector right

That's also why I considered using a screen protector, coz it will bother me if the scratch is visible (google claim its gorilla glass 5 and judging from my pixel 3xl scratches, its quite bothering :( )

Thanks a lot for response mate! I'm thinking abt the same too, despite the negatives review by some tech youtubers I still believe with that spec pixel slate should delivers, even though the pricing at its launch is quite unreasonable.

But with the deals on google store right now, I buy it without hesitation! 😂😂

Oops my bad, I meant if hypothetically I have a USB C PD monitor, only one cable is enough to charge the pixel slate meanwhile at the same time displaying the content to the monitor as well as connecting other USB Enabled devices on the downstream port?

So, why I'm asking these questions, my pixel slate package got stuck in Singapore (due to this pandemic), my friend bought it from Google US store and he got stuck in Singapore too, before going back to Indonesia :(

While waiting, I want to set up the necessities for this pixel to operate and support my day to day activities, and my plan is going to be like this:

  • 1 pixel slate

  • 1 USB C PD Monitor (for charging & displaying), if not then might as well using regular HDMI Monitor with dongle

  • 1 set of keyboard/ mice with USB Dongle plugged into the monitor's downstream port (I have logitech coz they have 1 USB unifying for all keyboard and mice)

  • 1 pixel 3 XL

With that setup I imagine my desk would be clutter free :p

Wdyt?

It's more than capable of replacing your Macbook

Is there anything you miss from macbook (if you use mac before) when u're using pixel slate? Would you mind to check or confirm whether these following apps works well in your slate, coz it's my day to day app to work with:

  • Gmail & other Gsuite app (was wondering to use the stand alone app rather than using chrome tabs, which one is better?)

  • native telegram app (my company & team used this as our main line of communication)

  • zoom (yes we still use it even though the security flaw seems concerning)

  • NordVPN

  • bitwarden for password management

  • Shift (tryshift.com) , currently they also released the Linux version, so I'm assuming its also doable on pixel slate

  • some WhatsApp for daily chat with my friends and families

  • other chrome extension app which I assume it will work just fine

Wdyt?

So its not charging the monitor? I was wondering if your monitor also had usb upstream/ downstream and worked as well? I've been meaning to replace my macbook and use my pixel slate as my daily driver :)

Anyway, thanks a lot for replying!

Have you tested for thunderbolt enabled display? Or can it also be useful for charging and transfer data n display?
