Or, the smaller 7" Hub, at only $100 right now. Without the camera, which may be desirable depending on where you want to put it.
We got one for my mother in-law, along with an outdoor camera as gift. Set it up as her home and invited my wife and I as members of her home too. It helps that we already use Google for photos. Makes it stupid simple to share photos. Or, since we mostly take photos of the kids anyway, just made it automatic to share to her. It’s already automatic to share to our own independent home too.
She’s definitely not making full use of the device, but showing weather, photos, and the outdoor camera are plenty. Bonus, Google should keep it current longer than some frame company.
I have other digital frames at home that use memory cards. The photos are always old and out of date, and it’s a pain deciding what to put on it. That’s probably the best part about the hub as a picture frame. It’s always current, always showing interesting photos, without having to ever manage the content. That’s a personal thing that others might want to manage on their own, but we love the automatic part of it.
