Amazon typically offers Prime Day discounts on their Fire tablets, Kindle E-readers and Echo digital assistants. This year is no exception with the Echo Show already discounted $100 through Prime Day which starts on July 16th and ends on the 17th. Google isn’t sitting idly by while Amazon rakes in the money. It’s offering deep discounts on some of its own hardware, and you don’t have to pay the fee to be a Prime member or wait until Prime Day to take advantage. The sale is on now.

If you want a hands-free digital assistant so you can buy stuff from Amazon, the company’s line of Echo devices is for you. If you want to have something that resembles a normal conversation with a digital assistant that leads the field when it comes to answering questions and providing information, Google’s line of Home devices is what you want.
