Google has just rolled a big update for the Pixel C with the Android 7.1.2 Beta.
The first noticeable addition is the inclusion of the Pixel Launcher from the Pixel phone. The tablet launcher includes the swipe up app drawer and the circle icons and folders. It also adds an extra space for an icon in the bottom tray with 6 icons compared to 5 on the Google Now Launcher. The navigation buttons have also been filled in like those on the Pixel phone.

There is also a major overhaul to the multitasking interface with a new tile interface for switching between apps and putting them into split-screen. The only annoyance with this is that you can't seem to swipe away the apps and instead have to click the crosses or clear all.

Another feature to come over from the Pixel phone is the wallpaper app that gives you loads of curated wallpapers straight from Google.

This update is definitely the biggest since Nougat itself brought split-screen to the Pixel C. Download it yourself by signing up to the Android Beta Program yourself if you have a compatible device: https://www.google.com/android/beta
Still no Google Assistant!!
