Google Nest Hub 2 leaks online then gets announced by Google

 

In the wee hours of Tuesday, March 16th the Nest Hub 2 leaked online. Shortly thereafter Google said forget it here it is. I'm looking forward to this product and have already pre-ordered one to replace my gen 1 unit that's in my bathroom.

The Nest Hub you love, but better


The new Nest Hub’s speaker is based on the same audio technology as Nest Audio and has 50 percent more bass than the original Hub. Fill any room with music, podcasts or audiobooks from services like YouTube Music, Spotify, Apple Music and Pandora — or enjoy your favorite TV shows and movies with a subscription from providers like Netflix, Disney+ and YouTube TV. With Quick Gestures, you can pause or play content at any time by tapping the air in front of your display.




New features include…



Get help for better sleep: Understanding your sleep is an important first step, but you may still have questions about what you can do to get better sleep. Sleep Sensing provides tailored bedtime schedules and personalized suggestions developed by a team of sleep scientists and using guidance from organizations like the American Academy of Sleep Medicine. Compiled after several nights of analysis, these suggestions point out notable aspects of your sleep, educate you on why they’re important and provide suggestions to improve.


Built with your privacy in mind: Sleep Sensing is completely optional with privacy safeguards in place so you’re in control: You choose if you want to enable it and there's a visual indicator on the display to let you know when it’s on. Motion Sense only detects motion, not specific bodies or faces, and your coughing and snoring audio data is only processed on the device — it isn’t sent to Google servers. You have multiple controls to disable Sleep Sensing features, including a hardware switch that physically disables the microphone. You can review or delete your sleep data at any time, and consistent with our privacy commitments, it isn't used for personalized ads.

Waiting on Google: Why My Next Laptop Won't Be a Mac or PC (The "Googlebook" Era)

The release of the newly announced Googlebook cannot come fast enough for me. I am in the market for a new laptop and have my sights set on a Googlebook with the hope Google is making one. So far there are about five laptop manufacturers that are slated to be producing and releasing one this calendar year. Although, details are sparse surrounding the Googlebook I've seen just enough to know that I want this device to be a part of my tech ecosystem.  My current tech ecosystem Admittedly, I've been holding out for a minute to get a new laptop. Fortunately, my current device is still meeting my needs but barely. Right now, I am rocking a Pixelbook Go from 2019 and using a Pixel 10 Pro with a Pixel Tablet. I'm fine with this setup but my needs for more capable and powerful computing is getting harder to ignore. My Pixelbook Go does not seem as connected to my other devices as I would like which would explain why I don't use it as much. ChromeOS has not progressed much over ...

The Ultimate Budget Companion: Running Android 16 on the 2026 Walmart Onn 8.1

If only Google would make a tablet like the Onn 8.1 I would be an extremely happy camper. But we are here and Google hasn't so we have this budget tablet from Walmart. While I won't give it away this early, however, the Onn 8.1 tablet is an interesting option in the budget space.  What I like about the Onn 8.1 tablet The stand out feature of the tablet for me is the size and the aspect ratio of the display. I must admit that the size is ideal for travel, reading and consuming media. The aspect ratio is not wide and I prefer that as apps tend to look better while filling the space on the screen really well. The software is what I would consider stock Android and it's my favorite of what's available. I also like how light weight the tablet is making it easy to hold in just about any orientation. Battery life is relatively good especially when in standby mode. The body of the tablet seems to be durable. I'm rocking this thing case-less and there are no scratches on the...
