I did get this for free with the purchase of another product so maybe I shouldn't complain too much. But the fact of the matter is there is a really big technical problem.
If you intend to use this as a speaker for your laptop or desktop computer you might want to wait. I tried it as an external Bluetooth speaker for my desktop and the latency or lag between lips moving on my screen and the audio output from the Google Mini is maybe 0.5 second. It is unusable. I have a Harman/Kardon Bluetooth speaker also and it is not doing this and the sync is perfect so i know its the Mini.
It does seem to be doing voice control correctly. Actually maybe better than my Alexa...

Smarter than Alexa

So it's not as intuitive to say "Hey Google" before asking a question than just saying "Alexa". Google's answers are more too the point. Google knows the difference between asking the temp and weather forecast. Alexa does not. The Google home mini is a great device even if you already have a dot, especially if you are a Android user

The Google Home Mini combines the great assistant Google Assistant, along with a quality speaker for a good price. It is easy to set up and combine with other smart home devices, like the Chromecast or Hue lights.
