Everything Google revealed: Pixel 2, Pixelbook, Google Home Max, and more

Google also went big with the $400 Google Home Max, a larger version of the Google Home that takes on Sonos with powerful audio and AI smarts. Google says the speaker delivers volume 20 times more powerful than what the standard Google Home achieves, but as with the Pixelbook, the software is the secret sauce. Google's new Smart Sound tech scans the Home Max's surroundings to optimize audio output. It'll tweak calibrations based on whether the speaker's jammed into a corner or left on an open counter. Over time, it'll learn to adjust to your home automatically--lowering music volume in the morning or raising it when it hears your dishwasher running, for example.
