Amazon has almost created a worthy iPad competitor.

It's like a pared down Echo Dot.

It's my new go-to for achy muscles.

Spoiler: One is better for a central home hub, while the other is better in a bedroom or office.

It's pretty and functional.

This thing is huge.

It's a fantastic toy for science-minded kids.

The new Echo Show 8 is made for connecting with people both inside and outside your home. The camera has had a huge glow-up and now boasts 13 megapixels (compared to the 1st gen’s 1 MP), and the Echo Show 8 offers more Alexa functionality than ever.

It’s a low-key, functional addition to your home that can fit in nearly anywhere but is particularly at home on nightstands and in-home offices.

Great for entertainment, not ideal for schoolwork.

Rubberized, kid-resistant, and loaded with content.

It delivers a true percussive massage at a reasonable price.

It offers full-body workouts disguised as your favorite arcade games.

It's great for casual tablet users, but not ideal for work or gaming.

It'll overwhelm you with health data (in a good way).
