Several of our editors personally own this Echo Show 5 (1st Gen) ($45, originally $80), and we can confirm it's worth the investment. Beyond having the convenience of Alexa to answer any question or command you have, the screen is an awesome addition. Whether you want to pull up a YouTube video or look at the weather forecast for the week, this device can do so many things.
You can also put photographs on in the background, so it looks like a digital picture frame while it's sitting at your desk or side table. Basically, the Echo Show will be your new obsession — trust us.
