TLDR: My Updated Thoughts on the Rabbit R1 Hey folks! So, I've been giving some more thought to the Rabbit R1, and I wanted to share a few more personal insights with you all: What's Cool: Super Handy: It's like a mini robot helper that can handle all your app needs. Think of it as a smart, pocket-sized assistant that's trying to make life easier. Smart Features: The R1's ability to learn and take over repetitive tasks is a game-changer. It's like teaching it a trick once, and then it just knows what to do next time. But, Here's What I'm Not Digging: The Look and Feel: Honestly, I'm not a fan of its design. It's square with a small screen and has this scroll wheel thing – it just looks odd. I miss the sleekness and comfort of a regular smartphone. It's not something that I find comfy to carry around in my pocket. Privacy Concerns: Where does all our personal info go? I'm really worried about this. It's cool that it can book flights and order food, but I want to know which services it's using. Like, is it Booking.com for flights or UberEats for food? And how secure is our data with this device? Data Transfer Speeds: With all the data it needs to download and upload, you’d really need fast internet for it to work smoothly. That could be a bit of a hassle if you're not always around strong Wi-Fi. A Little Dream: Apple and Rabbit R1, Maybe?: Imagine if Apple's sleek design and Rabbit's smart tech could merge. That would be something! A gadget that's both easy on the eyes and brainy. Final Thoughts: While I really like where the R1's technology is heading, I'm still sitting on the fence with this one. It's undoubtedly smart and user-friendly, but the design, privacy issues, and reliance on fast internet are things I can't overlook just yet. It's a step towards the future for sure, but maybe not quite the leap I was hoping for.
