Who exactly was hyped about this?

Personally, I typically want my interactions with technology to be quiet. I don’t want it talking, and I don’t want to be talking to it.

Do keep in mind the microphone is only on when you touch the touchpad, this device doesn’t use “wake words” like Alexa, Google Assistant, etc
One of few good aspects about it, but only if you don't think about it too much. The question remains is if you can actually trust this, because there is no physical button disconnecting microphone and camera. It's all just in software and could be unsafe.
Same goes with your phone
The fewer devices listening in on me, the better.
