News and notes on the latest from Google.
The Google Home Mini is essentially Google’s version of Amazon’s Echo Dot. It’s a smart speaker with the Google Assistant that provides you with hands-free help around the house. It’s great for asking it general questions or simply playing some music. So today, we’re partnering with our friends over at BluprintStudios Graphic Design to give one lucky winner a chalk-colored Google Home Mini. Details on how to enter are below:

Like me and many others, you probably use your Google Home for ambient music a lot. Volume level 2-4 is perfect for this, however, then you need to ask your Google Home a question, only to have it respond back to you at volume level 2.
The Google Home is a fantastic device in my opinion. Powered by the Google Assistant, it’s definitely a product that evolves and gets better over time. I own two Google Homes (one regular and one Mini), and probably my favorite feature about them is the instant access to music you get just with your voice. Speaking of music, Google also released its $399 Google Home Max smart speaker at its October event. It has been a while since our last poll, so I wanted to ask if you guys also own any of Google’s smart speakers. Vote below!
