The HomeView and Echo Show 16 could be the family computers I’ve been asking for

Apple's HomeView and Amazon's Echo Show 16 are two new smart displays that could finally make the smart display category useful, with computer-class hardware and improved software capabilities. The HomeView has an A18 chip and Liquid Retina display, while the Echo Show 16 has a MediaTek processor and Nanomatte display. Although they are pricey, with the HomeView costing $299 and the Echo Show 16 costing $499.99, they have a clearer purpose than their predecessors and might be worth the investment. They can be used as a shared screen for household tasks, such as checking the calendar, seeing who's at the door, and figuring out what's for dinner.
