One of these innovations is the Google Home Mini. The Mini is considerably smaller than their standard Google Home device ($129) and sports a smaller price tag accordingly. The Mini is built with families in mind and works in conjunction with Chromecast to control your TV, stream movies, and send music to your speakers. You can also have the Google Mini play from the device itself.<\/p>\n<p>It recognizes your voice, so multiple users can access their own playlists, calendars, and more with just their voice. It also features hands-free calling for those times when too busy to hold a phone to your ear. The mini can control your lights, thermostat, and more with a voice command, but those require external devices and\/or apps.<\/p>\n<p>Overall, for only $49 it does a solid job of bringing your entertainment into the next generation without depleting your rainy-day fund.<\/p>\n<p>Happy Holidays and good luck on the tech hunt from all of us here at {company}!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We like tech, it\u2019s what we do.
