Google Home brings Google's smarts to your living room

Google Home is an interesting product to review. In a way, it's just an internet-connected microphone and speaker array that draws all of its smarts from the cloud. As far as the AI experience goes, Home delivers -- but that's no surprise, given that Google already has long had a lead over competitors like Apple's Siri, Amazon's Alexa and Microsoft's Cortana. Because its intelligence is in the cloud, it will also only get smarter over time (which makes these devices rather future-proof if you're thinking about them as an investment). We've already written quite a bit about the Google Assistant, which is at the core of the Home experience.
