Sale! Google Nest Hub Smart Display, Charcoal (2nd Gen) with Mini Speaker Bundle

★★★★★ So this is my first smart speaker and display. I've never seen the benefit for someone that lIves alone and is willing to get it of the chair to turn on a light;-) But the price of this bundle got me to see what all the hype is about. I've placed the display in the kitchen and the mini next to my bed. I've learned to group the two and can now play music at both ends of the house without blasting the home stereo. I've set up plugs with lights in all my rooms and while I'm certainly capable of manually turning on the lights, it is so much more convenient to just say "hey Google, turn on the house lights". It will take me a while to learn all I can do with this bundle but I've decided my 60yo house will become smarter over time. This platform was very easy to learn some basics. And now the journey to continue. Very, very pleased with my Google Nest Hub and Mini.

★★★☆☆ The price of the bundle was good, but the execution of the display seems like hit and miss. If you have the 1st generation, i don't think buying this display will give you any excitement..It offers no super functionalities , and the sleep sensing functionality is awfully painful to calibrate if you even manage to do so. Requires some tape measure and few engineering tools maybe! I'm yet to find a way to calibrate this to get the advantage of sleep sensing. Maybe look for a wearable tech it would be easier and more accurate. This gimmick is just not worth it and this could have had a camera too. But you are paying a premium for basically an assistant with display so you can watch YouTube! Can't really recommend this for people excited about the tech involved. C'mon Google, you could have done way better with this. Another thing, the quick gestures is just toooooo weak, you can literally touch the screen to get those sensors grab what you're trying to do, you'll end up using your hands because it's way easier than getting a successful quick gesture working. Overall, buy it if you want, just don't expect magic. Bundling them was a good music listening experience, they seem to do that well at least!

★★★★★ Both items arrived on time and work perfectly, the new Nest Speaker blows my original Google Home out of the water. The Nest Hub Display 2 is a much better nightstand companion than the Lenovo Smart Clock it replaced.
