#2What's different is this with Google home mini, rather than speaker size? I can't find any reason for buying it.

I think it is only higher quality audio.

#4Dislcaimer: I work at Google but not on this team. And I'm a Sonos owner, so I think my feedback is relatively unbiased.
I got a demo of two of these in my friend's house the other day. The sound quality is exceptional. In a stereo pair the sound was loud and clear throughout the range with good bass as well. Very impressed, plus it's just a nice looking device imo.

Seems like they are suggesting the AI they use to dynamically configure your sound based on room placement is only available in this model.

I jumped on the wait list when they announced it but really want to wait for some thorough reviews before I drop $800 on a pair of them. I'm baffled as to why they didn't send out review units to major publishers before releasing them for general availability.

Kinda expected for $400

#8I don’t trust Google not to record every single thing I say and feed that into their advertising platform. For this reason I will probably wait and get a HomePod...
Downvoters: I presume you have evidence that Google won’t use your interactions with Google Assistant to better advertise to you?

#9>With the Google Assistant built in, Max is always ready to start your favorite song, pause or turn it up, all with just your voice.
Does it mean that it's constantly recording every conversation within its field of reach and uploading it to Google servers where the A.I. could tell whether it's a request to play a song, a keyword to show you more targeted ads or an insight into your private life that could be stored and sold on later when an interested buyer shows up?

#10C’mon, Apple, I know you want to make sure to get the HomePod right, but Google’s stealing your holiday shopping thunder here.
I only say this because $APPLE_FANBOI over here is willing to wait, but if I weren’t I’d snap up a couple of these. (Reality is not fanboism, but enough apathy to the product segment that three months won’t kill me.)
