Great Addition to the Google Home
I very much like having the Google Nest Hub. It seems solidly built and a like the style. It was simple to set up, is easy to navigate, responsive, and I enjoy having the screen to give me a visual representation of the information Google Assistant is giving. If I ask her (mine is definitely a her!) to read a story illustrations are on the screen, weather results are visual as well as verbal, I can use the touch screen to control my smart lights, thermostat, cameras, vacuum cleaner and all the speakers if I want to. If someone is at the door it will show me who right on the screen. It also does all the voice interfacing the Mini does, and Google Assistant sounds much better on the Hub as opposed to the Mini - the sound quality in general is much better.
I have it on my bedside stand and was a little concerned that it would be too bright, but the brightness dims in response to the ambient light in the room. I have the display set to change to a digital clock when the lights are out and it is just lit enough to be able to make out the time in the middle of the night but otherwise completely unobtrusive. I like it a lot!
