Take a look at Google’s mini-golf pop-up in New York City

In a bid to raise awareness for its smart home products, Google has kicked off a pop-up event in New York City that shows off the best features of the Google Home Mini and the Google Home Max smart speakers. This pop-up is a little different than others you may have seen. Why? Well, because it’s a mini-golf course.

Each hole on the course will represent a different room in the home, so you might have a hole for the kitchen and one for the bedroom. As you make your way through the course, you can interact with the Google Assistant on the Home Mini and Home Max to see how the products can help in your day-to-day life. Nest products are also on display, working with the connected Google Home devices throughout the course.

Once you reach the end of the course, you can tally up the score with your group to see who’s the winner. Everyone will get a chance to win either a Google Home Max, a Google Home Mini, or a pair of Google-branded golf socks. Treats are also available if you have a sweet tooth.

The pop-up is only in New York until Monday, June 4, so if you’re in the area, you may want to check it out soon — lines may also get pretty long. You’ll still get a chance to check out the pop-up even if you don’t live in New York City, however, since Google is taking the pop-up on the road. It will be making its way to Chicago, where it will be open from June 14-17; Los Angeles from June 30 to July 5, and Atlanta from July 26-29.

This isn’t the first time that Google has shown off its products at a pop-up event. Last year, the company set up a pop-up donut shop, where guests could step in, get some donuts, and ask the Google Home Mini a question. Google also launched two other pop-up events after its annual October events in 2016 and 2017, showcasing the variety of new products it launched including the Google Pixel, Pixel 2, Pixel Buds, Pixelbook, and more.

Google Home’s web preview is live — and it’s missing most features

If you've got a Nest camera and have been dying to give it a go as part of Google's new web preview, it's time. Head to home.google.com and have a look. Just be prepared to be largely underwhelmed and to remind yourself that it indeed is in preview status.

The Google Home web preview is live, but sparse. You can view cameras (here, in a grid), but that's it.

Is it worth upgrading to the new Google Nest wired doorbell?
Someone presses the Nest Video Doorbell in front of their home.

Video doorbell cameras are often one of the first external pieces of smart home tech consumers buy. Not only do they help keep an eye on our environment, but they double as communication devices for delivery drivers, guests, and others. Google recently released its second-generation Nest Doorbell (wired) and improved the Google Home app, but is it really worth upgrading if you have the base model?

The new Google Nest Doorbell (wired) shares a similar design to the battery variant, although it is shorter since no batteries are required. It has a flat, matte design that comes in four colors to match nearly any home. To initiate a call, there's a big button at the bottom, which is illuminated around the edge. There's also an equally significant and prominent lens at the top of the doorbell.

The Amazon Echo Dot (5th Gen) with Clock.

Smart speakers come in many sizes, and pitting the Amazon Echo Dot (now on the fifth generation) vs. the Nest Mini (currently on the second version) compares some of the smallest available. These tiny speakers are still loud enough to play music or perform other audio functions for people nearby, and they can make great desktop companions or even smart alarm clocks in some cases.

Which is the best? Despite their diminutive sizes, these little speakers have a lot of differences, starting with their design. Let’s take a look.
