Apple made its base iPad cheaper, and Google did the same with its Pixel Tablet. Now they're asking $400 for it.

However, the kit now does not include a docking station

Having introduced the new iPad Pro and Air tablets, Apple did not bother and simply lowered the price of the basic iPad. Google did the same with its only tablet, the Pixel Tablet. 

This model was introduced a year ago, and now it has been reduced in price. Originally priced at $500, the device now costs $400. 

True, if Apple lowered the price of the iPad without any reservations, the Pixel Tablet became cheaper, but at the same time lost the complete docking station. 

The tablet's parameters have not changed at all: SoC Tensor G2, 11-inch screen, 8 GB of RAM and an 8 MP camera.
