  I got 1 fir free with my youtube premium, still use my normal mini with kiwi battery base more at this moment , its kind of cool that way…
  But portable with the right design seems like a good way to go…

yeah if you’re buying one of those you’re buying them for the speaker now, if you’re buying it for affordability at the moment. Yes the other one’s cheaper but if you’re buying it for quality you want the larger one you can’t say your first answer the way you did because it’s without the context of the main difference between the two value. Yes quality no.

I’m disappointed that YouTuber don’t discuss how the Nest Mini has the most issues especially Wi-Fi disconnection. Always just hear about the positive things, never warning the buyers. Are they afraid that Google won’t support them?

Just got a Nest mini for $30, an impulse buy at that point and great value. A Nest audio would be nice but is it over 3x better? Not for me

I would go for a( first mini ) with kiwi design battery ( 20 bucks) and otherwuse a smart screen speaker….????
I prefer to have the worse first mini next to me then the second on the wall….sound is better but still to small to be extremly enjoyeble….and portable with the base it feels right to just place it somewere you sitting next to you ..
Still the mini’s doint disapoint, portable or on a wall plug….but the sound is just it as a room speaker
