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...
Gives Alexa a Face, Not a bad entertainment platform, Highly extensible, Excellent hearing
Call audio quality sub-par, Needs to make even greater use of the display, Screen is too reflective

Alexa is as useful as ever, Hardware is solid and soberly handsome, Touchscreen-enabled apps show some promise
Short list of touchscreen-enabled 3rd-party Skills, Teething pains for some Skills on how display is used, Most expensive Echo version yet, Alexa still lacks multi-user support
The more I interacted with Alexa via Echo Show, the more the subtle differences versus it and the Echo or Echo Dot became clear. When I use one of the latter, Alexa is decentralized: a disembodied voice, much like a Star Trek ship's computer. In contrast...
Alexa takes great advantage of the new touchscreen, Music sounds great over the new speaker, Echo Show does everything the original Echo does, It'll get better over time as developers build skills for the touchscreen
Odd, angular design, Low-resolution screen
The Echo Show does everything the original Echo does, but many of those features are much better when you add in a screen. Given that the Show is only $50 more than the standard Echo, it'll be a worthwhile investment for anyone looking to add a digital as...
