  • Perhaps to set it apart from Amazon's limited color options (there're only two) for the Echo, the Google Home comes with a magnetically attached removable base, that you can swap out for a new color.

  • Removing the base gives us our first look at that high-excursion speaker and a hidden micro-USB debug/programming port.

  • To pull out the four Torx screws hiding deep in the speaker recess, we pull out our set of fixed-blade screwdrivers for a little extra reach.

  • Once they're out, we pop the top. The lid separates with ease, and finally the capsule is open.
