Zoom for Home - DTEN ME is an all-in-one personal collaboration device for your home office priced at $599. Available to order now and shipping in the US starting August 1st.
This is a natural extension for Zoom although I would use one.
I could be wrong but it doesn't seem like a dramatic improvement to simply opening a new window to Zoom or Miro (for collaborative sketching) on my MacBook. I'm also fairly mobile in my workspace at home. I'm currently typing from our kitchen table and later I might work from the patio or downstairs from another table.
That said, I might not be the target demo (even though I WFH). Curious to hear what other people think of this.
Interesting to see more 'Facebook Portal' style alternatives launch, but with a business focus. Smart move by Zoom in this WFH climate.

Not sure i see the market for this.
- Spend $599 on a locked-in screen that can only be used for zoom, and will likely not have long-term support as its unlikely to get a lot of uptake
- Spend $329 on an iPad and have infinately more functionality.

Seem the type of device companies would purchase, only to find they're not updated or supported a year from now. We're all on our laptops and tablets anyways and know apps there get updated frequently. We'll stick with that.

Like some other sibling posts I'm worried about what differentiates this from other more flexible products. Maybe one potential place to offer differentiation is to provide built-in networking hardware that might replace e.g. a user's home router with a stack that is somehow optimized for video conferencing (maybe fiddling around with various buffer settings and trying to reduce latency through various hardware decisions). Even then though I'm not sure whether you'll be able to eke out more than a marginal improvement, but I'd be happy to be proved wrong here.
