I have used HomePod in my office and at home. The audio at all levels is very impressive. I would concur that this unit produces great sound. Only issue I have found is in a party setting. I had 20 people over Saturday night (yes it was a good time) and HomePod had trouble listening to commands with all the ambient noise...I hope they can somehow figure this out...I just simply switched to iPhone control of the music and was fine. In a quite setting it works great.

I have used mine for about 4 days now.  I was first surprised by how small the case was.  It is sleek and well built.  As described the pairing process is second to none.  The pods are comfortable and feel great with no cord to mess with.  The sound is great.  Double tap and ask Siri to play anything...very cool and very Star Trek like.  I found the distance to be good but not outstanding.  For how I use them they are great.  But if you expect to use them all over the house upstairs and downstairs you may be disappointed as the sound will break up once you get a wall or 2 between you and the source.  An absolute great product and IMO a great innovation.  Completely changes the user experience.  Well done.

That will be awesome for Apple to roll out new models 4 months after I invested in their below average iteration of the MacBookPro.

If the audio is as good as I expect the price tag is spot on.  It will be interesting to see how the utility of the product plays out...is it just used as a good speaker or will it truly enhance the user experience with voice guided tech.

I would assume that this cannot be repaired on site. I am also confident that these panels are 100% custom and not in stock at Lowes. Probably just lead time to get replacement panel in and then pane properly replaced...thoughts?

I like my products to stay together and last...I am old fashioned that way.

Since everyone is blocked from posting on "certain" articles I will post it here.  I find it very amusing that the very people that rely on "free speech" block that very thing on their own site.  What you are saying is our opinion does not matter.  Ban the trolls but don't ban discussion on sensitive issues.  It is "not the right thing to do".

Please, for the love of God - let the new Mac Mini's allow users to add RAM and internal drives.

Soldering down the RAM, means that I'll continue using my 2012 Mac Mini's with 16 GB RAM, and my homemade Fusion Drive.  I will not buy a hamstrung Mac Mini, I will find myself FORCED to go back to Windows (and I don't want to do that).

You must be old

It is comical reading some of these posts.  To quit because of a person being on it (you can block lol) or because Elon owns it…also not anyone with self respect cares if you quit.  Good bye.  Cya.  Twitter is 10x more balanced than ever.  I now see all views.  Why is that bad?

Unless he can come up with a user fixable Mac using current technology I can’t hear him.

What kind of DIY repairs do you do to your tablet? Your phone? Your television? Microwave? Car? Ah yeah, none.

Appliance computing is here to stay. DIY tinkering isn’t high on their feature set for the customer base. Get a PC and go crazy.

I have my TV torn apart, replacing the back light, I can attach a picture if you need proof. Microwave? Pretty easy to repair. Car? Maintenance all the time. Repairs from time to time, rarely does it go to the shop unless I am too busy.

You are not part of the "mass market" that Apple creates its products for.  Cool that you can do all of that but a high majority of peeps cannot and will not do that.
