The "Chromecast with Google TV (4k)" is $50 to this device's $100. $50 is a really attractive price point, $100 immediately feels less like a casual buy. The previous device was also a nice tiny dongle, not requiring any real estate (great for the "TV hanging on the wall with no console" types), while this is a set top box. This feels like a huge step back for new purchasers.<p>It's not going to drive upgraders either?<p>More memory, better chipset - These are weird, hard sells for normal people. The previous device could already play 4k HDR streams as well as anything. It improves loading times of apps? So what? You can download more apps? Most TV apps are sized on the order of tens of megabytes, why do I need more storage?<p>AI features. I don't want any of these, who wants any of these? AI summaries: Shows already have summaries, but now I guess I can have them written by a machine instead. AI screensavers: You have to be kidding, that's not a selling point. I also assume all of this could have been a software update on the old device since it's probably on-cloud.<p>Smart home features. Again, they could just been a software update? And who wants to turn on their TV and browse through their Google TV's interface to get to their smart light controls or whatever? We have phones and we have voice assistants already.<p>I just can't understand this. Am I missing something?
