The editors didn't like
Glossy display could be a problem
Lack of YouTube
The uninspired design feels dated. At launch
The touchscreen visuals don't do enough to bring Alexa to life
Or make her much easier to use -- though that could change with the arrival of new screen-specific Alexa skills
Needs a lot more visual apps
Underwhelming speakers
Clunky design
Speaker disappointing
Sparse skills
A bit ugly

No Netflix. No YouTube. Weird
Unnecessary video calling addition that means there's yet another camera in your house. It's also really expensive

In the course of two weeks, the unimpressive but "good enough" hardware faded into the background as the experience took over. Amazon's cloud based "Alexa" is impressive in voice recognition, speed, and feature set, which will grow much broader now that...

Abstract: While we await the HomePod later this year, Amazon one-ups everyone with a not-quite-baked but full-of-potential speaker/display combo.Apple is diving a little deeper into the connected home space later this year with HomePod. (To live alongside that oth...
Alexa as you've come to know and love, Not prohibitively expensive, Good sound and video quality, A reasonably attractive design
Thirdparty skills taking advantage of the touchscreen, Amazon's Alexa app is still a little clunky, Video "dropins" are fraught with danger, Alexa calls and messaging are still a walled garden
Almost 3,000 words ago I said that the Amazon Echo Show is the best Alexa you can get today. That hasn't changed. First, it looks cooler than the original obelisk Echo. It also does all the things that the OG Echo does. The addition of the touchscreen is...

Touch screen useful for discovery, selecting suggested items, and controlling playback, Full range of Alexa features with visuals
Limited touch control options, Drop In voice and video messaging only works with other Alexa users, Dated design, Unimpressive audio quality for the price
The Amazon Echo Show pairs a camera and 7-inch touch screen with the company's Alexa voice assistant, but the combination doesn't feel particularly vital or necessary...
The Amazon Echo Show is a logical extension of the company's Alexa-enabled devices, and keeps the Echo a step ahead of Google Home and other smart home speakers in providing a visual interface to complement the voice assistant. While what you can do with...

Abstract: The Echo Show isn't a great piece of hardware. It's beefy and clunky, and kind of looks like something that fell off the back of a RadioShack truck in the late-80s. The display isn't great (there's a reason the company's not talking specs) and sure, the s...

The New Nintendo 2DS XL is basically a 3DS XL, minus the 3D, with a slightly improved design. It gives you access to a huge library of great games, including past DS, NES and SNES classics
The tiny stylus is very awkward to use. There's little new here for anyone who already has a 3DS in their bag
Amazon's touchscreen Alexa device shows potential for people interested in video chatting with friends and family members, but it needs a little more development before we'd recommend it...

Abstract: The first night the Amazon Echo Show was in my bedroom I had to carefully lay it face down on my nightstand. The display, which was cycling through my upcoming meetings, most recent news, and the weather, was simply too bright. It was like having a little...
