budgetsRsexy Posted September 29, 2021 Share Posted September 29, 2021 Would get the robot but not at $1kI snorted at the article describing the Astro as “the love child between a Roomba and an Echo Show smart display.” As interesting as it is in theory it doesn’t seem that useful, particularly not at the $1k price point. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it was a couple hundred dollars it would be a neat toy type thing. But at a grand it does nothing useful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaymacfla Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 "available as a Day 1 Edition product that you can request an invite for the privilege of buying" I never thought about it being a privilege to blow 1K on a reject from Wall-E. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jesusluvu Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 My son said "And this is where it starts. The robots will rise up and rule us all".
