When it comes to design, Google got it right with the Home Mini. It sports an orb-themed profile that looks and feels warm. Its top is cloaked in a coarse but attractive fabric, while the bottom half is coated in a grippy silicone that’s resistant to sliding and fingerprints.

The Google Home Mini inherited all the capabilities of the larger Home, including the voice recognition capability called Voice Match. This feature enables the speaker to distinguish voices and give out personalized responses for you and others in your home. It also has an interactive entertainment tool called Family Link – which includes storytelling and games – making it perfect for households with children.

There’s so much more you can do with the Google Assistant integration. You can utilize it to control compatible smart home devices, useful for such things as locking doors and turning off lights. You can even ask it to stream music, play movies, create grocery lists, make phone calls, and more. The Mini responds well to directives even when presented with less specific instructions.

Despite its compact size, the Google Home Mini sounds surprisingly good. No, it’s not intended to be a hi-fi device, but it’s capable of producing loud and full sound especially with a bit of expert tuning. It also doesn’t have an audio output, but it’s always ready to pair with a device via Bluetooth.

The Google Home Mini is an ideal pick for homeowners looking for an affordable home assistant. Our review team even gave it an impressive 4-out-of-5 star rating, noting that it’s full sounding, easily understands voice commands, and integrates well with other Google devices.

Get a Google Pixel 7 for the same price as a Google Pixel 7a today
Pixel 7a lying on leaves.

The Google Pixel lineup of phones is likely the best Android phones on the market, which isn't surprising considering that Google created Android in the first place, so they know how to utilize it best. Much like other manufacturers, Google has phones in various budget ranges, and the one that sits right in the middle is the Pixel 7, which is a great choice if you don't need a flagship, but don't want a budget phone. Usually, that means you're still paying a pretty penny, but with this deal from Amazon, you can grab the Pixel 7 for the same price as the 7a, which is $499.

For those who aren't too familiar with Chromebooks, you should check out our Chromebook versus laptop discussion. We explain that the primary difference of Chromebooks like the HP Chromebook 15a from Windows-based laptops is that they are powered by Google's Chrome OS, an operating system that utilizes web-based apps and Android apps from the Google Play Store. With the lower overhead compared to laptops that need to install software, Chromebooks run fast even with cheaper components.
