don't forget they introduced a "subwoofer" with a driver the size of an average bookshelf speaker so you can listen to your streamed audio in a stereo pair of 3" paper drivers and a mighty nine pound sub

My coworker wants the microwave for some reason. I can sort of see the point of a smart coffee maker where you set it up the night before and just tell your AI overlord to make coffee in the morning when you wake up, but for a microwave once you go over to the microwave, put the food it, and figure out how much time you need to microwave it for, isn't it easier to just push the buttons rather than dictating it to Alexa?
