I don’t have any “smart” stuff in my home (other than phones). I suspect I’d feel differently about this thing if I did.
I’ve bought Pixel Phones for a while now. I’m no fan of Google. but I appreciate a no BS phone, that gets actual updates. My son has long had Fire Tables (being cheap and all that), but I don’t like the Amazon version of Android. I’m looking forward to seeing how this new tablet fares.
